NEW DELHI: India will ask Myanmar to launch a thorough search in its Kachin province area where ULFA `commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah is hiding. It will also seek the neighbouring country's help in flushing out other north-east insurgents from its territory.
The matter along with the issue of smuggling of Chinese arms through Myanmar will come up for discussion during three-day home secretary-level talks between the two countries, beginning in Nay Pay Taw on Tuesday.
Besides ULFA, NSCN(I-M), NSCN(K), PLA and UNLF too have their camps within Myanmar territory. While ULFA has camps in the Kachin province bordering China, the other outfits have been operating from areas bordering India.
The 10-member Indian delegation for the talks will be led by Union home secretary G K Pillai.
Sources in the home ministry said that besides talks on action against Indian insurgents hiding there and smuggling of Chinese arms through Myanmar, the Indian side will also pitch for setting up a number of `police liaison posts' at the border for constant infomation sharing between the two countries over criminals and smugglers.
The posts will provide a platform of daily interaction and joint interrogation of persons arrested for drugs/arms smuggling and for insurgency related activities.
Issues like border security, smuggling of narcotic drugs, effective border management and border trade will also be discussed during the talks.
