Jiribam: The recent encounter between militants and CRPF personnel in Manipur’s Jiribam district, resulting in the death of at least ten militants, highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region. This incident underscores the complex and volatile security situation in the state, where militant groups have been active for decades.
More than 200 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kukis in Manipur since May last year.
The attack on the CRPF camp marks a significant escalation in militant activity. Such attacks not only endanger the lives of security personnel but also disrupt peace and stability in the region. The response of the CRPF forces in neutralizing the militants is commendable, demonstrating their professionalism and dedication to duty.
On Monday morning, a farmer working in the fields in Manipur’s Imphal East district sustained injuries when militants opened fire from nearby hilltop positions.
This was the third consecutive day of hills-based militants attacking farmers working in the fields in Imphal Valley. Security forces rushed to the spot and returned fire, leading to a brief gunfight.
