Aizawl/Agartala, Mar 9 (IANS): In one of the biggest arms haul in northeast India, para-military Assam Rifles recovered 31 AK-47 rifles and other arms and ammunition in Mizoram. The arms were being smuggled to Bangladesh, officials said Saturday.

Three people were also arrested in connection with the arms recovery near Lengpui airport in Mizoram, bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh.

"Acting on a tip off, the Assam Rifles troopers conducted raids in Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh Thursday and recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition. Ten people were apprehended, including one self-styled commander-in-chief of Dimasa National Liberation Force, a separatist outfit in Assam," an Assam Rifles official told IANS.

He said that the state police and central intelligence officials have been interrogating the arrested people, whose identity is being withheld.

Mizoram superintendent of Police, (CID-Crime branch) Joseph Lalchhuana said that 23 AK-47 rifles, a Browning automatic rifle, a light machine gun and a large cache of ammunition being routed from Myanmar to Bangladesh were seized from a small vehicle near Lengpui airport near Aizawl late Thursday night.

Three people, including two residents of Tripura, were arrested along with the arms.

"After they were questioned, eight more AK-47 rifles and a large quantity of ammunition and some explosive materials were seized from a nearby place Friday," Lalchhuana told reporters at Aizawl.

The apprehended persons were identified as Rabi Chakma, Sobuj Chakma and Moni Tripura. Two of them hailed from northern Tripura.

A team of Tripura police Saturday left for Aizawl to get details about the arms recovery and arrests.

Four northeastern states - Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Assam - share a 1,880-km border with Bangladesh, while Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh share a 1,640-km unfenced border with Myanmar.

Most parts of the borders are unfenced and running through mountainous terrain and dense forests, making it porous and vulnerable and advantageous to terrorists and cross-border elements.

The India-Bangladesh border is manned by the Border Security Force (BSF) while the India-Myanmar boundaries are guarded by Assam Rifles.

Insurgent outfits in northeast India use jungle routes along the borders to sneak in arms and ammunition with the help of international arms smugglers. There have been instances in the past where security forces have intercepted arms consignments being carried to various separatist outfits of northeast through Mizoram.

Indians always claim their NE is so calm and quiet now-a-days!! This new arms catche shows the real picture. Delhi should grant NE at least a full autonomy so that this region can dirctly negotiate trade with Bangladesh and grow along with it.

Arms comes into NE From 2 routes:
Thailand-Myanmar-BD route.
China-Myanmar route.

All States of India are autonomous. Union Territories are not - they are ruled directly from New Delhi.

All the States elect their own Chief Ministers who form their own governments. The only subjects where the State govt does not have rights is the Union List of Subjects - which are necessarily held by the Center because they are required to be uniform all over India.

You cannot have border states negotiating separate trade treaties with other countries because it would distort uniformity of laws across India.

So i dont know whether you were trying to be thick or not. But that is not how any nation in the world works.

Possibly the next report would be like this: The 3 detained guys revealed in the interrogation that the arms loads were going to a Bangladeshi Islamist extremist group who placed the order a month ago. indian authorities have been able to foil a great militant plan by Jamat-e-Islami Bangladesh or other such groups who are currently creating anarchy throughout the country.

Why do you talk nonsense without first knowing the meaning of "Auotonomy?" Re-learn the definition rom an HSC Political Science Text ook and then send another post.

Please note that there are over 27,000 JI/SHIBIR's activists in jail. So, the stooge Law-Enforcers wouldn't have difficulties in finding a few low level Pesky that would give in to tortures and agree to act as 'RAJ SHAKKHIS' of stooges. Then Jamaati's connection would be established on such concoction to level itself as a 'Terrorist party'. What a plan it would be then!
