Earlier, important insurgent leaders have shunned the insurgent groups and have joined the mainstream giving a blow to the underground outfits.

In a landmark boost to peace and tranquillity in the Northeast India, 14 National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) terrorists have dropped arms and surrendered before the police administration in Arunachal Pradesh. The surrender was made before the Superintendent of Police Longding on Thursday, 28 July.

The concerted efforts, relentless pursuit and human approach of Longding police at grassroots levels under the Operation Mainstream initiative to convince the insurgents to come over ground and join the mainstream have paid well as this is the highest simultaneous surrender in history of TCL.

The surrendered cadres were engaged in extortion and collection of taxes. They were all holding influential positions and had been working actively for the outfit. Among the 14 surrendered, 2 are from NSCN KYA, 10 from NSCN IM, 1 from ENNG and 1 from NSCN U.

Earlier, important insurgent leaders have shunned the insurgent groups and have joined the mainstream giving a blow to the underground outfits. This is owing to the persistent efforts by security forces to bring peace and tranquillity in the region by convincing the underground elements to give up arms, thereby taking the path of stability and prosperity in the region.

The outfits revealed about their hard life in the organization and appealed their fellow cadres who are still in the NSCN-IM, KYA, R, U, KK to give up violence and start a new beginning by surrendering before the police and administration as they said they have understood that life of UG apart from being an anti-national act, is wastage of their precious life.
