Civilian casualty more than insurgents in Northeast: MHA

The number of civilian casualty in insurgency related violence in the north-eastern states till March this year is more than the casualty suffered by the insurgent organizations.
This comes close against Centre’s claim of declining insurgency in the Northeast.
Statistics available with the union home ministry said that 16 civilians have been killed in 104 insurgency related violence in the north-eastern states this year.
Four security personnel and two extremists were also killed during the same time.
The major civilian casualty took place in Arunachal Pradesh where as many as 11 civilians were killed by suspected NSCN-IM militants.
“Central Government is following a policy of talks with those groups who abjure the path of violence and seek resolution of their demands peacefully within the framework of the    Constitution of India,” said the sources.
