Overview

  • Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said recent intelligence is being received but verification points to small criminal groups rather than organised militants.
  • The government is monitoring shifting conditions across the Bangladesh border as security agencies keep a close watch.
  • DGP Idashisha Nongrang earlier noted reports of fresh recruitment attempts by outlawed outfits without clarity on the scale or identities involved.
  • Tura MP Saleng A. Sangma warned of a potential resurgence, blamed governance failures, and said he briefed the Union home minister and petitioned the prime minister.
  • Sangma linked recent dacoity cases near Ranikor and incidents near Baghmara to possible foreign elements, a claim not publicly corroborated as police withhold specific details.
