Mr Sahay said the Bangladesh government was taking proactive measures following constant persuasion of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and as a result, Northeastern insurgent outfits - ULFA, NSCN(IM), NSCN(K) and UNLF - had started shifting their bases to Myanmar from Bangladesh.
Referring to the recent conference of DGPs and IGPs in Delhi he said it had been reported that though several Northeastern outfits, including NSCN(IM), NDFB, DHD(N), DHD(J), UPDS, UPF and ANVC, were engaged in peace talks with the Centre, they have started moving towards Myanmar to avoid the heat in Bangladesh.
Mr Sahay underlined that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had recognised Tripura in the conference as the best governed state in the country. ''Our success in combating militancy was discussed at all levels and it was accepted that Tripura and Andhra Pradesh models can be effective in countering militancy,'' he underlined.
Since there was significant containment of insurgency in the region over past three years, the Centre had decided to set up a school for counter-insurgency operation in Tripura to train security forces and the MHA had sanctioned Rs 1.50 crore to set up the school out of the allocated amount of Rs three crore.
Meanwhile, three NLFT extremists, identified as Mani Tripura (29), Ms Pali Tripura (22) and Upendra Tripura (29), surrendered in front of BSF in South Tripura yesterday without arms.
At the same time, militants released two farmers who were kidnapped along with three others on August 29 from their jhum land.
