NE may face major law and order problem
Assam Tribune | Guwahati, Oct 3 :
Illegal firearms being channelled into the North East are going to emerge as a major concern in maintaining law and order in a region already infested by dozens of insurgent and subversive groups.
The problem is aggravating with some weapons being sold off to criminal gangs, which are operating well below the radar of the police and the Army.
Apart from pistols and revolvers, semi-automatic weapons with considerable fire power are being brought into the region. At times American and European weapons have also been recovered from insurgents, which reveals the demand for high-quality firearms.
While acknowledging the reach of local insurgent groups to arms dealers, he emphasised that there might be a bigger game plan of foreign forces to arm the groups with lethal weaponry. Destabilising the region by creating a fear psychosis becomes much easier if insurgents can be heavily armed, he added.
