groups.The Indian army and Myanmar Army carried out a
three-week-long coordinated operation in their respective border areas from May 16. The
operation targeted several militant groups operating in Manipur, Nagaland and Assam.

The first phase of “Operation Sunrise”
was conducted in March along the Indo-Myanmar border. In the operation a number
of camps of north-east-based
militant groups were busted.

During “Operation Sunrise 2”, the
armies coordinated with each other to bust camps of militant outfits, including
the Kamtapur

Assam (I) and the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB). Nearly
six dozen militants belonging to these groups were nabbed and several of their
