The Tambru Konapara camp, located on the Zero Line, has become a hub for ARSA organizational activities, training, drug smuggling, and terrorist activities due to the inability to strengthen regular patrols and surveillance. Ten rogue groups are active in Rohingya camps. Among them, Arsa is active in Ukhia, Balukhali, Palangkhali, and Huaikyong; RSO and Master Munna Dal are at Ukhia and Palangkhali; Islami Mahaj and Jabu dacoit gangs are active in Hoikyang and Nayapara camp; Chakma dacoit gang, Nabi Hussain dacoit gang, Putia dacoit gang, Salman Shah dacoit gang, Khalek dacoit gang, and Khalek dacoit gangs
Stating that Arsa has control over most of the camps, it is also said that Arsa and Nabi Hussain bandit gangs often clash for dominance. Murders occur. Arsa’s presence and their suspicious activities pose a security risk.
