Overview

  • Conrad K. Sangma said security assessments have not indicated a revival of structured insurgent outfits as agencies continue to probe frequent tips.
  • He noted that many alerts have resolved to local criminal gangs or dacoits rather than organised militant cells.
  • Officials are closely tracking shifting dynamics in Bangladesh that the government says are influencing the state’s security environment.
  • DGP Idashisha Nongrang earlier acknowledged reports of fresh recruitment attempts, though police have not disclosed the scale or identified specific groups.
  • Tura MP Saleng A. Sangma warned of a potential resurgence and informed the Centre of alleged Rohingya entry and foreign links, claims that remain unverified in official disclosures.
