In recent years, Assam has faced threats from extremist groups operating along its borders. Law enforcement agencies, particularly the Assam Rifles, have been involved in several anti-terrorism operations aimed at neutralizing these threats. The operations primarily focus on insurgent groups that seek to destabilize the region through violence, extortion, and other forms of unrest. Intelligence-led raids, military cooperation, and coordinated efforts with neighboring states have been key to these operations, leading to the apprehension of several extremists and the disruption of terror plots.
The police and military units are also engaged in monitoring extremist activities, using surveillance tools and gathering intelligence to identify potential threats before they can manifest into attacks. Assam has strengthened its cooperation with central government agencies and neighboring states to counter these movements, ensuring security along the porous borders. Anti-terrorism initiatives have also included public awareness programs aimed at preventing radicalization and fostering peaceful coexistence among various communities in Assam.
