Dima Halom Daogah factions set to fight for control over new council

GUWAHATI: Monday's tripartite agreement among the two factions of the Dima Halom Daogah (DHD) — DHD (Nunisa) and DHD (Jewel) — the Centre and the state governmentis aimed at bringing back peace in the troubled hill district of Dima Hasao. But security agencies think the rivalry between the two factions, which has been one of the causes of bloodshed, is unlikely to subside.

"The rivalry will not go away. The two factions will now be fighting each other to take control of the autonomous council," a source said.

Security agencies are also critical of militant outfits like DHD (Jewel) — which has been charged by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the CBI of siphoning off development funds to buy weapons and stage war against the country — now seeking general amnesty by signing peace accords. "Peace talks are an effective way for militants to getting out of legal entanglements and this has been the case with many militant outfits in peace process," the source added.

Security agencies also pointed out that a third factor that has a major stake in maintaining peace in the hill district. "One-third of the population of Dima Hasao district comprises non-Dimasa tribal groups, which include Nagas, Kukis and Hmars, principally. All these groups owe allegiance to different militant groups like NSCN, Kuki and Hmar outfits. The memorandum of settlement (MoS) provides for equal benefits to the non-Dimasa tribal groups," the source said.

In the past, the district has seen several bloody ethnic clashes between the various tribal groups residing here. Considering the delicate situation in the district, the MoS has made adequate provisions to keep all sides well balanced.

According to the MoS signed with both the DHD factions, the Rs 200-cr economic package announced will benefit all the communities in the district while increase in the strength of the territorial council will ensure suitable representation of all sections. Besides, the provision for setting up village-level councils for devolution of powers to the grassroots will benefit the non-Dimasa tribals as much as the Dimasas. The MoS specifically states that the heritage sites of non-Dimasa indigenous tribals are to be preserved and maintained.

Govt to draw district units

Santanu Ghosh

Silchar, October 9, 2012: Delhi and both the DHD factions have entrusted Dispur with the task of dividing Dima Hasao district into three administrative units.

Talking to The Telegraph from New Delhi last night, Dilip Nunisa, chairman of one of the factions of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD), said the objective of dividing Dima Hasao, which covers 4,880 square km, into three administrative units was to ensure that both hills and plains people get “equal share of opportunities and development” and all the communities living in the district get better representation. At present, the district has two subdivisions, Halflong and Maibong.

Earlier in the day, the two DHD factions, led by Nunisa and Jewel Gorlosa, had signed a tripartite memorandum of settlement with the Centre and the Assam government. The two factions will be disbanded soon.

Nunisa, who is expected to return to Haflong, the district headquarters, tomorrow, said the accord would mark the end of insurgency that had wracked the area since 1993. He guaranteed the more than two lakh people living in the district a new era of peace and development without any discrimination towards any community.

Haflong witnessed subdued celebrations after news of signing of the accord reached the town as a curfew had been clamped on it as a precautionary measure at 1am yesterday. It was lifted at 8am today.

Observers of Dimasa insurgency said the minority ethnic communities in the district like Hmar, Kuki and Jeme Naga should now join the mainstream as they had been promised their own administrative unit under the framework of the Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council, the new name for Dima Hasao Autonomous Council.

The Barman and Hojai communities, offshoots of Dimasa tribal community, living respectively in Cachar and Nagaon districts, who had demanded that their areas on the fringes of these districts be merged with Dima Hasao areas, can also be at peace as there will be separate development councils, funded by Dima Hasao territorial council, for their areas.

Nunisa said he would visit Khaspur village in Cachar district this week to pay homage to the last Dimasa king whose kingdom’s ruins are located there.

Khaspur, on the foothills of Barail range, was the last Dimasa kingdom which was annexed to the British empire in 1832 after the assassination of the last Dimasa king Maharaja Govinda Chandra Narayan in 1830.

DHD peace agreement signed

~Kalyan Barooah

New Delhi, October 8, 2012: Amidst escalating tensions in Dima Hasao district, the Centre and the Assam Government sealed a pact with both factions of the DHD, seeking to end eight years of conflicts in the hill district that had stalled several major infrastructure projects passing through the area.

The formal Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) signing ceremony held at North Block was attended by Union Home Minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde, Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, Centre’s interlocutor, PC Haldar, Union Home Secretary, RK Singh, State Chief Secretary, Naba Kumar Das, DGP, JN Choudhury, besides top leaders of rival factions of DHD.

The most significant moment came, when Dilip Nunisa tried to reach out to the rival faction by honouring Jewel Garlossa with a traditional scarf.

The hour-long signing ceremony was also attended by about 40 representatives of various tribal and non-tribal groups, village headmen brought by the DHD (N) faction. The MoS was signed by Nunisa and Garlossa on behalf of DHD and Joint Secretary (North-East), Shambhu Singh and Principal Secretary Home and Political, Shri Sailesh on behalf of the State Government.

The MoS has come after protracted negotiations that included a political and economic package worth Rs 200 crore. The demand for inclusion of additional 94 villages spread over adjoining districts was rejected. The demand for withdrawal of cases particularly those involving heinous crimes was not accepted either. Top leaders of the Black Widow faction including Garlossa and Niranjan Hojai have been charged by National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) for heinous crimes.

Hailing the signing of the MoS, his first with any militant outfit, Shinde described it as a golden day, welcoming the two outfits. He said that Government of India wants to engage with any group that abjures violence and decides to come for peace negotiations. “I urge all such groups to give up violence and come for settlement with Government of India,” Shinde said.

An official spokesman of the Home Ministry said that the MoS provides for enhanced autonomy for the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC), which has been rechristened as Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council (DHATC) and also a special package for speedier socio-economic and educational development of the area, for which the council has been set up.

Under the MoS, a committee would be constituted to deal with matters relating to the Sixth Schedule councils. The DHD shall dissolve itself as an organisation within a reasonable time (six months) as a precursor to the Government initiating further process to implement the agreed decisions of the agreement.

A special economic package of Rs 200 crore (Rs 40 crore per annum) over and above the Plan fund over the next five years will be provided to the DHATC to undertake special projects. Thirty-nine subjects will be transferred to the council under para 3A of the 6th Schedule of the Constitution, conferring legislative powers.

The State Government has agreed in principle to set up a development council with a suitable package for preservation and promotion of culture and language.

The economic package of Rs 200 crore would benefit all communities including the non-tribals. The increase in the strength of the territorial council will ensure suitable representation to all communities. Besides, the provision for setting up village level councils for devolution of powers to the grassroots will benefit the non-Dimasa tribals, as much as the Dimasa tribals. The MoS specifically states that the heritage sites of non-Dimasa indigenous tribals are to be preserved and maintained, said the spokesman.

Earlier, addressing the meeting, Jewel Garlossa, who mostly kept to himself, describing the signing of the MoS as a historic moment, said that they have realised that violence would not bring any solution to their problems. The signing of the MoS is a beginning of a process and every tomorrow would be a better tomorrow. The signing of MoS would bring new vistas in the path of prosperity and development, he said.

Garlossa in his speech though flagged out several issues reiterating the demand for rehabilitation of their cadres, withdrawal of cases lodged against both the factions and people associated with the movement and those lodged by NIA and ED.

Addressing the meeting, Dilip Nunisa urged the Home Minister to sympathetically consider the demand for a nursing college and a government law college in Dima Hasao district.

Describing the Chief Minister as a hero of not only the Ahom community but also the Dima Hasao community, Nunisa said that they are confident of solving the problems through further decentralisation of power.

Describing the ongoing unrest as unfortunate, Nunisa said they have demanded three additional satellite autonomous councils for the non-Dimasa communities living in the area. “We wish to assure all communities irrespective of religion, caste and creed that we respect all and want to ensure peace,” he said.

Earlier, sharing his experience, Haldar told the meeting that though they began the peace process with initial reservations, things later fell in line. He recalled that the most challenging task was to bring both the rival factions together. “However, we could manage to persuade both the factions to sit together,” he said.

Signing of A Tripartite MoS Among Central Government, Govt. of Assam and Factions of DIMA Halam Daogah 

A Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) with both factions of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) was signed today at New Delhi by Shri Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary (NE), MHA, Shri Sailesh, Principal Secretary, Home & Political, Govt. of Assam and the Representatives of DHD(J) and DHD(N).

Operation launched in Haflong after blasts

Guwahati: Suspected militants triggered two back-to-back blasts in Haflong town of Assam Sunday evening, forcing the police and security forces to launch a combing operation.

No one was, however, injured during the blasts and there is no report of any major damage caused by the blasts, police said.

Haflong, the district headquarters of Dima Hasao district, is located about 300 km from Assam's main city, Guwahati.

"The first blast took place at around 5.55 p.m. near Synod Gallery in the heart of the town. The second blast took place around 6.25 p.m. near the Sarkari Bagan area," Assam's IGP (Law and Order) L.R. Bishnoi said adding some kinds of crude bombs had been used to trigger the blasts.

"It is difficult to name anyone as being behind the blasts today. But it is aimed at derailing the proposed peace process between the two factions of Dimasa militant outfit Dima Halam Daogah and the government of India," he said.

The two factions of the militant outfit - one led by Dilip Nunisa and the other led by Jewel Garlosa, known as DHD (J) - are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the representatives of the state and central governments in New Delhi Monday. The MoU will lead to the formation of a new territorial autonomous council in Dima Hasao.

On Friday last, police recovered a grenade from the town and suspected militants sprayed bullets at the Agartala-bound Agartala Express at a small station near Haflong.

While the state and central government are going ahead with the signing of the MoU Monday, the indigenous non-Dimasa communities of the district like the Kukis, Hmars, Jeme Nagas, Wrangkhols, Baites and others are still opposing the move.

Several organizations of these communities - Indigenous Peoples' Forum (IPF), the Indigenous Students' Forum (ISF) and others have not only opposed the signing of the MoU but also threatened massive movements if areas inhabited by non-Dimasa communities are included under the purview of the new territorial autonomous council.

Joint Press Release on 28th September,2012 Incident in Haflong

PRESS RELEASE of the

ZEME STUDENTS’ UNION, GUWAHATI

HMAR STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION, GUWAHATI

KUKI STUDENTS’ ORGANISATION, GUWAHATI

---

 In view of the fateful incident of 28th September,2012 at Haflong, North Cachar Hills District during the 48 hours bandh called by I.P.F (Indigenous People’s Forum) in demand of the bifurcation of the district into two Autonomous Districts in which many innocent civilians, including women and minors, were brutally assaulted by the Security Forces in collaboration with the DHD(J) militants due to which many of them are fighting for their lives ,we strongly condemn the cowardly act and the brazen Human Rights violation of the Indigenous people which has become so common in the district.

The shameful incident, apart from exposing the partiality and biasedness of the Administration has, once again ,bring to light the pitiable plight of the Indigenous non-Diamsa communities of the district who, in spite of constituting 65% of the population, are given step-motherly treatment of the highest degree in their ancestral land. It is said that in Democracy numbers count, but in N.C Hills it has become crystal clear that it is ‘GUN’ alone which the government pays attention to. It may be further stated here that the incident of 28th September is a continuation of the barbaric and systematic pogrom perpetrated by the Dimasas to brutally crush the Indigenous people’s Constitutional and legitimate demand for the protection of their Rights and Honour. Another question we would like to put before the administration is how surrendered DHD(J) militants who are said to be confined to their designated camps could come out in large numbers with weapons and attack the innocent civilians including many women and minors and the Security Forces, instead of enforcing Ceasefire Ground Rules and taking action against the law-breakers, resorted to assault and indiscriminate firing upon the civilians. Once again, this has proved that the Law and Order machinery of the district is hand-in-glove with the Dimasa militants. The unprovoked and inhuman assault has laid bare the tall claims of the Government regarding peace and normalcy returning to the district forcibly renamed as Dima Hasao District against the wishes and protest of the majority people; it seems in the government’s lexicon, peace means succumbing to terror, violence and turning a deaf ear to the cries and pleas of the common people for justice. While neglecting the constitutional demand for bifurcation by the Indigenous people, the government is said to have made much progress in its talks with the Dimasa militants. By neglecting the peaceful and Democratic voices of the people and being ever-eager to heed only those practicing ‘Gun-Culture’ the government has set a very bad precedent in a district which has witnessed many ethnic-clashes.

Keeping the above grave circumstances in view, we demand –

1. The immediate bifurcation of the North Cachar Hills district into two autonomous districts under Article 244(2) of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution to protect the Rights and dignity of the Indigenous non-Dimasa communities and to ensure their survival and also for communal peace, harmony and all-round development.

2. Appropriate action against all those involved in the inhuman assault on innocent civilians as per law and the immediate suspension of the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police of the district for complicity in the assault through their inaction against the gun-toting militants.

3. Adequate compensation to all those injured in the assault.

4. Shifting of all the designated camps of the Dimasa militants from populated areas especially from the district headquarter.

(Newmai News Network)Confrontation between the Dimasas on one side and that of Zeliangrongs, Hmars and others, has resurfaced in Assam’s N.C. Hills today. Several people got injured in the alleged attack launched by the Dimasas. According to a joint statement issued by Titus Kamei, President of Zeliangrong Youth Front-Assam, Manipur Nagaland (ZYF-AMN), Elu Ndang, General Secretary of Zeliangrong Baudi (ZB-AMN) and Pamei Tingenlung, President of AZSU-(AMN), many leaders of the community as well that of Hmars have been hurt seriously in the attack launched by the Dimasas today.

“The democratic agitation demonstrated by the Indigenous People Forum (IPF) by way of calling 48 hours bandh expressing their objection and discontentment against the policy of the Assam government to declare the North Cachar Hills district as Dimasa Territorial Council, was obstructed by the Dimasa people in which five Zeliangrong social leaders identified as Mrs. Kirangle Panme,(42) who is the President of Zeme Pui Baudi, Assam, and Mrs. Iwangle Riame (43), President of Indigenous Women Forum, Mr. Heichungbe Zeme (40), and three students namely Mr. Kibanchungbe Zeme (18) , Heireilungbe Zeme (18), Mr. Hourangbe Zeme (16)   and other indigenous tribal leaders belonging to Hmar community namely, Keivom Hmar(40), president, Indigenous Students’ Forum, Mr. Sureithang Tuolor (20) were seriously injured,” alleged these Zeliangrong leaders today.

According to them, the injured persons reportedly suffered injury when the Dimasa people armed with guns, and other deadly weapons such as sticks, daos and other deadly weapons attacked them. The injured persons ran inside the police station hoping that their lives would be safe but the police turned them out with the Dimasa people dragged them out from the police station and nobody came to their rescue.

The police whose prime duty and responsibility is to secure the life of the citizen failed to protect the life of the innocent citizen. “This is strongly condemnable by every right thinking people”, the press note stated and demanded that those police personnel stationed at the time of the incident should be terminated from their service immediately and impartial investigation should be done into the incident so as to build up confidence of the citizen in the police, the Zeliangrong leaders demanded.
“The bias and impartial policy of the Assam Govt is an intention to create communal disharmony in the North Cachar Hills which is inhabited by several communities wherein Dimasa is one of them. On the pretext of talk with the Dimasa militant group and the government of Assam have been providing maximum benefits, opportunity and favour to the Dimasa people since the truce.  The Govt of Assam detrimental policy of only pleasing the Dimasa without giving equal treatment to the other indigenous tribal people has attributed the problems of the non Dimasa communities,” Tingenlung, Elu and Titus alleged.

The Zeliangrong Baudi (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland), Zeliangrong Youth Front(Assam, Manipur & Nagaland) All Zeliangrong Students’ Union (AZSU) and Zeliangrong Students’ Union Manipur (ZSUM) has sought the immediate attention of the Assam Govt in particular and also the Govt of India to look into the matter in order to bring normalcy in the North Cachar Hills District at the earliest. The Zeliangrong people would take up appropriate remedial measures in order to secure the Zeliangrong people’s life in particular and other indigenous tribal people in general, they warned.
