Effect of Insurgency Problems to the Tourism of North-East India:

Although the Incredible North-East has many graceful & breathe-taking scenes for the tourists. But in true sense, most of the North-

East India has been excluded from the eyes of tourists cause ofthe Insurgency problems across the region. BNLF in Mizoram,ANVC in Meghalaya, NLFT in Tripura, NSCN-IM in Nagaland,

UNLF & PREPAK in Manipur, NDFB & ULFA in Assam are few of

the Insurgency Groups.

But, Now-a-days the Government of the respective States with thecombined help of BSF, Assam Rifles & Military Army has carried

out many rescue operations & made many of this TribalInsurgency Groups to bow down their arms.

Now, slowly peace is retaining in the mystical lands of North-EastIndia & I presume the day is not so far when this Incredible North-

East shall not remain unexplored..!!!
