Four people were injured in an explosion in Manipur yesterday. Also yesterday, Government forces shot dead three ULFA militants in Arunachal Pradesh. Two government offices and four government buses were set alight in Arunachal Pradesh last Friday.
There’s been vague whisperings about the Central Government considering forming a ‘supra-state’ Naga body before the end of the year. As the Naga imposed blockade in Manipur continues, two weeks after the Kuki-led blockade was called off, the Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZYF) has threatened agitation if their land is included in the to-be created Sadar Hills District.
The Times of Assam says ULFA pushed for talks and dropped its core demand for sovereignty only to get its leaders out of jail. They claim the rift between the two factions is pure fiction and that the two continue to coordinate closely.
11 people have indicted in Bangladesh on arms smuggling charges. They include Paresh Baruah and other high profile individuals including former ministers and senior bureaucrats. Apparently the Indian Government has concrete evidence that Mr Baruah is in China.
Someone has a sense of humour: Manipur has been named “best improved state in governance among small states of India”.
There are fresh accusations of links between Pakistan’s ISI and northeast groups: this time it's the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA).
What do Greece and Tripura have in common? No, it’s not souvlaki. Tripura is reportedly enjoying a “severe fiscal crisis” and seeking a bail out of the order of US$3b.
