Substantial improvement in NE security scenario, says Naidu

Itanagar, Oct 9 (UNI) Vice-President of India M Venkaiah Naidu today said there has been “substantial” improvement in the security scenario in the Northeast region over the years.
Addressing the ‘special’ session of Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly here, Naidu said the Central Government has been making “sincere and dedicated” efforts to end violence in the NE region by finding solutions to the “legacy” problems by talking to all concerned, as a result of which there has been substantial improvement in the security scenario in the region.
“Compared to 2013, the insurgency related incidents declined by 70%; civilian deaths by 80% and casualties of security forces by 78% in 2019. Signing of the path-breaking Karbi Anglong and Bodo Agreements recently clearly indicates our collective commitment to herald peace in the region,” the Vice President said.
