Imphal, July 28: Even as NSCN-IM general secretary Th Muivah arrived in Bangkok this morning from Amsterdam for another round of dialogue, the cease-fire between the GOI and the NSCN-IM is likely to break down.

The NSCN-IM�s MIP sources told NNN today that leaders of the outfit based in the North-East India are now dispersed at various strategic points as the break-down of the ongoing peace process between the GOI and the NSCN-IM is becoming more and more imminent.

However, a separate source from some top brass of the NSCN-IM informed Newmai News Network that things would become clear in a couple of days time.

The current term of the cease-fire between the GOI and the NSCN-IM ends on July-31 which is only three days away from now.

The outfit�s MIP Deputy Kilonser Kraibo Chawang said that the NSCN-IM�s Home Ministry directives to all the NSCN-IM rank and files and its cadres to disperse themselves at the "strategic points" was issued as a pre-emptive measure in the event of cease-fire pact breaking down.

The MIP Deputy Kilonser also said that unless the new India�s UPA Government reviews its Common Minimum Programme (CMP) where one of the points stated that "the existing States� boundaries would not be disturbed", the NSCN-IM is ready to go back to the jungles.

Kraibo Chawang has blamed Congress veterans like Rishang Keishing, Nagaland�s SC Jamir, Arunachal Pradesh� Mikut Mithi and Assam�s Tarun Gagoi as one of the factors for the present hiccup of the "Naga Peace process".

Reports of middle rank NSCN-IM leaders moving out of Dimapur have been received." Fare-well parties are the common seen of Dimapur among near and dear ones for the last few days", said a kilonser.

Top women cadres of the NSCN-IM were the first batch to move out of Dimapur to various unknown destinations, according to the reports received.
