Days after India's successful counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is slated to travel to the country on June 18 for a two-day visit.
During his visit, Doval is expected to focus on identifying leaders of the insurgent group NSCN-Khaplang who are operating in Myanmar.
This comes even as reports suggest that the Indian Army's offensive in Myanmar wasn't as successful as was initially made out to be.
According to reports, only seven bodies of insurgents have been recovered so far and at least 40 members of the NSCN-K, including a senior leader, are believed to have fled the camp before the Indian Army made its strike.
Army had claimed that 20 militants were killed in the offensive on two camps in Myanmar.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the government had sounded high security alert across the northeastern part of the country following reports that some NSCN-K terrorists had sneaked into the Indian territory to carry out a revenge attack.
According to inputs, around 2O terrorists belonging to NSCN-K, PLA, ULFA and other groups like the newly-formed United National Liberation Front of West South East Asia crossed the Indo-Myanmar border with the intention of revenge attacks after Tuesday's surgical strike by Army, sources privy to the discussion said.
Reports of militants entering into India came hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting of top security officials, Defence Minister, Home Minister and National Security Advisor.
Notably, India and Myanmar have been differing over where the Indian Army actually carried out its operation. While Myanmar claims that Indian soldiers did not cross into its territory, India continues to insist that the terror camps which were destroyed in the operation were in Myanmar.
