Guwahati: A militant suspected to be a cadre of NSCN (K-YA) outfit was killed on Sunday in an encounter with the Assam Rifles in Arunachal Pradesh’s Longding district.
A police officer who does not want to be named said that Assam Rifles troops effectively foiled a surprise ambush by suspected insurgents affiliated with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K-YA) faction. "The militants attacked the Assam Rifles patrolling party when the para-military forces were conducting routine patrolling between Khogla and Lyangche close to the India-Myanmar border.”
The officer said, “The Assam Rifles troops retaliated the attack forcing the extremists to retreat and abandon their position. A temporary hideout used by the insurgents was found in the area, he said.
A significant cache of war-like stores, around 15 kg of improvised explosive device (IED), 34 detonators, two .22 pistols along with two magazines and other military-grade supplies were recovered from the mountainous areas.
On April 27, three militants of the NSCN-K-YA faction were killed during a gun battle between the security forces and the extremists in the same Longding district.
The NSCN-K-YA had earlier served an extortion notice of Rs 20 lakh to the public sector oil major Oil India Limited (OIL).
The notice was signed by the outfit's self-styled Major, Tha Aung and sent to OIL's office in Manabhum, located in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
The NSCN-K-YA has not signed a ceasefire agreement with the Centre even as several other Naga outfits including the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) had signed a ceasefire agreement with the government and are now holding talks.
