State Security Adviser Kuldeep Singh has revealed that 900 Kuki terrorists have infiltrated Manipur from Myanmar, raising concerns about potential militant activity. Reports suggest that groups of around 30 militants, equipped with drones, bombs, and guerrilla warfare gear, are hiding in various parts of the state.
There is a high alert for a potential attack on Meitei villages by September 28, leading to heightened security in districts like Churachandpur, Tengnoupal, Ukhrul, Kamjong, and Farjoul.
The region has been embroiled in violence between Kuki and Meitei communities over reservation issues since May 3, 2023. This conflict has resulted in 237 deaths, 1,500 injuries, and the displacement of 60,000 people.
Recently, a joint security operation seized a large cache of arms and ammunition in Churachandpur. Additionally, on September 20, Sarangthem Somarandro, an aide to Manipur Minister L. Susindro, was abducted.
