Notably, the southern part of Arunachal Pradesh has always been a battle ground for the NSCN (IM) and NSCN (Khaplang) besides rampant illegal opium cultivation.

Security agencies are of the opinion that members of the extremist groups either fund or are directly involved in the opium cultivation and trade to sustain their subversive activities.
