Report says around 570 people died in J&K in the year 2008 and while approximately the same number of innocent people(500) died in Manipur during different terrorist and militant strike. If we talk about number of blast then I guess Assam has a go in this. Now the subcategories:
Cycle Bomb Blasts
Thread Bomb Blasts
IED Blasts
RDX seized
Militants arrested
Militants surrendered
State with maximum no of naxalites
MLA involved in naxalism
and the list goes on.
These days we see the Indian of the Year, Player of the Year award but the days are not far when we will have Militant of the Year or the State with maximum reports of insurgency and so on.
I don't figure out that even facing so many blasts in Guwahati alone, why didn't the Govt. of Assam do anything. Is the pressure on Govt. from militant outfits is more than from innocent people. Even yesterday we heard the news of blast there.
Govt. has already outlined the States with highest no of insurgency and comparably peaceful in the NE States of India. Well I am sure they havn't yet decided the measures to be taken to minimize it. Arunachal Pradesh is another example which comes under the peaceful category. Is Changlang province of Arunachal peaceful? Militant activity is speeding up in Arunachal itself and the day is not far that it also comes under the category of Disturbed state.
So, its the time to go with a eradication act rather than discussing on it. And if the Govt. has not yet finalized its preventive measures then I guess NE region has to go neglected once again.
