Multiple Insurgent Cadres Surrender to Security Forces in Northeast India

In early May, multiple insurgent cadres surrendered to security forces in Northeast India. Two ULFA-I members crossed from Myanmar to Arunachal Pradesh's Pangsau Pass before surrendering, reflecting pressure on the group. Separately, seven cadres from various factions surrendered in Dimapur, Nagaland, handing over several firearms. Authorities attribute these surrenders to sustained intelligence efforts and outreach aimed at encouraging militants to abandon violence and reintegrate into society.
