Cadre upkeep costs Rs 16 crores
The Telegraph | Pankaj Sarma | Guwahati, Feb. 25:
The Centre has spent Rs 15.55 crore during the 2013-14 fiscal on the upkeep of Northeast militants who had either surrendered or entered into a ceasefire with the government. "In case of Manipur, a one-time grant of Rs 2.5 lakh, monthly stipend or #remuneration of Rs 4,000 per cadre are given to the surrenderees under a special surrender-cum-rehabilitation scheme formulated in 2012," Rijiju said.
Rijiju further told the Rajya Sabha that in Manipur, 12 designated camps have been set up to lodge cadres of two ceasefire-bound militant outfits - Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and United Progressive Front (UPF). Similarly, there are 15 designated camps in Nagaland where cadres of three NSCN factions - Isak-Muivah, Khaplang and Khole-Kitovi - are taking shelter.
