The '''Insurgency in Arunachal Pradesh''' is a part of the larger [[Insurgency in Northeast India|Northeast India insurgency]] involving multiple groups trying to separate from or destabilize the province. Because of [[Arunachal Pradesh]]'s close proximity to the border, many groups are able to use border crossings to promote their terrorist activity. In addition to the non-state groups operating in the region, since its recapture in the [[Sino-Indian War|1962 War]], there has been incursions from the [[People's Liberation Army|Chinese Army]] in the region further escalating the conflict.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/north-east/apang-rules-out-chakma-compromise/cid/808157|title=Apang rules out Chakma compromise|website=www.telegraphindia.com|language=en|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> The conflict has cooled since police arrest of major insurgent leaders.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://news.webindia123.com/news/ar_showdetails.asp?id=701251501&cat=&n_date=20070125|title=Rebels lay down arms before Apang in Arunachal Pradesh - News - Webindia123.com|website=news.webindia123.com|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> The insurgency has seen many minor actors in conflict with each other due to ethnic and religious differences.

== Insurgent Groups and Activities ==
The [[National Liberation Council of Taniland]] (NLCT), an ethnic separatist group, was active along the Assam – Arunachal Pradesh border. The NLCT seeks to establish a separate nation in northeast India known as [[Taniland]] for the [[Tai peoples|Tani peoples]]. Their most recent activity was a shooting attack in the neighboring Assam province.<ref>{{Cite news|agency=Press Trust of India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/arunachal-police-express-surprise-over-nlct-demand-114022500364_1.html|title=Arunachal police express surprise over NLCT demand|date=2014-02-25|work=Business Standard India|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref>

[[National Socialist Council of Nagaland]] is a much larger ethno-nationalist separatist group. It also seeks a separate nation for the [[Naga people]]s known as [[Greater Nagaland]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/nscn.htm|title=Global Security|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=April 11, 2020}}</ref> The government of India and the NSCN had been in negotiations since 2001 with various cease-fires declared, and were close to a peace agreement in 2015, but ultimately fell apart. They continue operations in camps in the [[Tirap district|Tirap]] and [[Changlang district|Changlang]] districts.<ref name=":1" />

[[United Socialist Council of Arunachal]] was a minor communist terror organization operating in the province. It was led by [[Gangte Tugung]] until his capture by state police along with much of the USCA leadership on August 10, 2005. Tungung had previously been arrested twice but escaped both times.<ref name=":0" />
