And whereas the Central Government in exercise of powers conferred by Section 3 of the aforesaid Act had also declared, besides other areas, the areas falling within 20 kms wide belt in the State of Meghalaya bordering with the State of Assam as ‘disturbed area’.
[*(FT II— <aus 3(ii)] TO 3?i J^m : awnw^ 3 And whereas the declaration that the State of Assam and areas falling within 20 kms wide belt in the State of Meghalaya bordering with the State of Assam shall be a ‘disturbed area’ under the aforesaid Act was extended from time to time after reviewing the law and order situation in the State of Assam and the aforesaid area.
And whereas a further review of the law and order situation in Assam and the 20 kms wide belt in the State of Meghalaya bordering Assam indicate the following:-
(i) The law and order situation in the State of Assam has continued to be a matter of concern due to the violent incidents by underground outfits;
(ii) During the period January to September 2016, the Under Ground Outfits were involved in 66 incidents of violence in Assam which resulted in the killing of 29 persons including 1 Security Forces personnel;
(iii) The militant outfits operating in the area continue to have been making constant efforts to regroup, re-strengthen and intensified their efforts for recruitment/infiltration of new cadres into the State and indulging in coercive extortion targeting businessmen, tea garden owners, contractors, commercial vehicles, timber smugglers, transporters and even Government officials and politicians;
(iv) United National Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (UNLFW) has been formed in April, 2015, and two of its constituents viz ULFA(I) and NDFB(S) have been desperately making efforts to perpetrate demonstrative acts of violence and during the current year they have been responsible for 57% of the incidents of violence and 84% of the deaths in the State;
(v) NDFB (S) militants shot dead 14 civilians and injured 19 others in a busy local market on the outskirts of Kokrajhar town on 5.8.2016. ULFA(I) cadres also shot dead 2 Hindi speaking persons in Tinsukia district and orchestrated 5 and 2, IED crude bomb explosions in Tinsukia and Charaideo districts respectively on
12.08.2016;
(vi) ULFA(I) is coordinating joint action with other UG outfits, including NSCN(K) and KYKL along Arunachal Pradesh-Myanmar border and with GNLA and HNLC along Meghalaya-Bangladesh border also providing training to cadres of KPLT/UPLA in its camps in Myanmar;
(vii) Karbi militant outfits viz. UPLA, UKPLA and various factions of KPLT have been actively involved in extortions and abductions for ransom in the hill districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao; and
(viii) The hilly and densely forested border areas of the State of Assam provide an apt location for camps/shelters/hideouts to ULFA(I), NDFB(S), NSCN(IM), NSCN(K), GNLA KPLT and several Meitei UG outfits and cadres of these outfits take advantage of crossing over to neighbouring States in order to evade Security Forces actions.
Now, therefore, the entire State of Assam and the 20 kms wide belt in the State of Meghalaya bordering Assam shall continue to be ‘disturbed area’ under Section 3 of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 upto six months beyond 3.11.2016, unless withdrawn earlier.
