Assam on high alert for jihadi threats
Assam is on high alert because some groups from Bangladesh are trying to start trouble there.
These groups, like JMB and Ansar Bangla Team, want to establish bases in Assam, but the police and security forces have been stopping them.
However, the threat is still there, and the police need to stay alert.
These groups are also using the internet to try and convince young people to join them, which is a big worry.
The Assam government has banned books and materials that promote these ideas, making it easier for the police to catch people who have them.
But it's still hard to stop everything because a lot of this stuff comes from other countries.
Bangladesh-based jihadi groups (JMB, Ansar Bangla Team) have attempted to establish bases in Assam, but have been foiled by police and security forces.
Assam remains on high alert as the threat of jihadi inroads persists, especially with increased fundamentalist activities in Bangladesh.
Jihadi groups are using cyberspace to radicalize youths, which is a major concern for security agencies.
The Assam government has banned jihadi literature to control its spread and make it easier to arrest those possessing such materials.
Security agencies admit it's challenging to monitor all jihadi literature online, as much of it originates from abroad.
