Terrorists Now Infiltrating via Myanmar
This year, sometime back a well coordinated operation by the Indian Army with the Myanmar Army, took heavy toll of the terrorist group that had set up a base in Myanmar. That operation lasting for several weeks, destroyed a large number of terrorist camps and killed many terrorists.
However now the intelligence feed back is that the North Eastern border is getting active once again. With the Western border heavily fenced and J& K well sanitized, the ISI with help of China is trying to make use of Myanmar borders. A large number of North Eastern terrorists are being seen on the India-Myanmar border and amidst them the Pakistani terrorists too will hide and infiltrate into India and make their way to J& K and other parts of India.. At the same time, a large numbers of their terror camps have also become active as per reports.
Most of these camps were abandoned in 2019 after a joint operation by the armies of India and Myanmar and terrorist activities had come to a standstill. These camps have become active again in the last few months. According to intelligence sources, the activities of terrorist organizations PLA and RPF have increased in the Chin State of Myanmar. Their number is said to be around 18-20 and their presence is from Senam to Sialmi adjacent to the border.
According to information received, these terrorists were involved in the killing of Colonel Biplab Tripathi, the commanding officer of the 46th Assam Rifles, his wife and son, besides 4 other soldiers on the Manipur border last month. After that incident, all of them entered the Myanmar border in search of a safe haven and are still hiding in the forests near Sialmi.
Around 150 terrorists of UNLF, PLA and PREPAK have been brought to the villages of Chin State so that they can be infiltrated into India. Similarly, dozens of NSCN (KYA) terrorists have become active in Tirap and Changlang districts that have recently infiltrated from Myanmar.
The sources claim that 30-40 terrorists of different terrorist gangs are trying to infiltrate Manipur. It is feared that in the coming days, there may be a major terrorist incident in Manipur as well as Nagaland.
No wonder, our Foreign Secretary had to go to Myanmar for some hard talks. Instead of being reactive, now India has to become proactive to ensure that both ISI and PLA activities get curtailed and Myanmar Army better take some hard action or India will.
