Security forces have averted major terror strikes in four
northeastern states planned jointly by militant outfits NSCN-K and ULFA-I, an
official said.
Quoting intelligence reports, Lt Col Shailesh, spokesperson
for the Inspector General Assam Rifles (North), said rebels of the National
Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and the United Liberation Front
of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) had plans to carry out terror strikes in Nagaland,
Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
The rebel groups have united under the banner of the United
National Liberation Front of West South East Asia (UNLFWSEA).
"UNLFWSEA is intending to launch a number of attacks in
Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh during and before Independence
Day. All citizens are advised to be careful, and should immediately report any
suspicious items found lying unattended at any place to police and the security
forces," the spokesperson said in a press communique.
He said that in the past few months, a number of highly
destructive radio-controlled explosive devices have been smuggled into Nagaland
from Myanmar, in a bid to target the districts of Dimapur, Kohima, Wokha,
Mokokchung, Mon and Tuensang, "with the aim of creating fear
psychosis".
He said the recovery of explosives and two military grade
anti-tank mines in the jungles of Polubadze mountain in Nagaland on Tuesday
confirmed the nefarious designs of the militants.
The spokesperson said the NSCN-K was "misguiding Naga youths
to resort to violence against their own brethren".
He assured the people that the security forces will continue
to work towards ensuring peace in the region.
