Overview

• Conrad K. Sangma said many recent inputs, once checked, resemble activities by small criminal gangs rather than organised insurgent units.
• DGP Idashisha Nongrang earlier confirmed reports of fresh recruitment attempts by outlawed outfits but described the details as sketchy and under verification.
• Tura MP Saleng A. Sangma warned of a potential revival and said he briefed Union home minister Amit Shah about alleged regrouping and cross-border infiltration.
• Leader of Opposition Mukul Sangma linked vulnerability among youth to unemployment and the drug problem, citing inputs that educated youths are at risk of radicalisation.
• Police have withheld specifics on the scale of recruitment or group identities, and Saleng’s claim that recent Ranikor arrests reflect organised cross‑border elements remains uncorroborated by authorities.
