The 4th Assam Rifles camp at Ranglom village in Changlang district was attacked on the morning of Republic Day 2026 by the NSCN\/GPRN (YA). The attack saw heavy firing and explosions near the camp.<\/p>\n
The attack coincided with a joint boycott call of the Republic Day celebrations by the NSCN\/GPRN (YA) and the ULFA-Independent. The two groups described the Republic Day celebrations as being conducted under heavy security deployment and termed them an imposed display of Indian nationalism.<\/p>\n
The NSCN\/GPRN (YA) claimed responsibility for the attack through a press statement issued the same day.<\/p>\n
Details are scanty as no official confirmation has been provided regarding casualties resulting from the incident.<\/p>\n
This was the second attack on an Assam Rifles camp within three months in Changlang district, following a joint assault on 16 October that injured four personnel. Such attacks have been concentrated in Tirap, Changlang, and Longding districts, with coordination between the NSCN-K-YA and the ULFA-I featuring prominently.<\/p>\n
The security forces should take the threats posed by these organisations seriously and adopt stronger countermeasures while improving their overall strategy. Such repeated attacks are not minor irritants; they point to the persistence and growing audacity of these groups, which continue to pose a security threat and disrupt peace in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
