The situation in Manipur is not taking the name of improvement. Violence continues in the state. People are getting killed every day. Six people lost their lives and 16 were injured in the latest violence in Bishnupur district. The attackers attacked with guns and mortars. At the same time, the army started retaliatory action. According to an army spokesman, an armed militant belonging to the KIA group sustained bullet injuries. He was captured, while other militants managed to escape.
According to the army spokesperson, several operations were launched after the incident at Kwakta in Bishnupur. He said that during one such search operation, the army party was fired upon by armed insurgents from area Mongcham at around 5.30 pm on Saturday. The army personnel retaliated and the encounter started. The spokesman said that the KIA has not entered into any peace agreement with the government.
Security sources suspect that the latest spate of attacks was carried out with a huge cache of arms and mortars looted from the armory of the 2nd India Reserve Battalion headquarters at Naransina in Bishnupur district on Thursday. HE mortar bombs looted during the gunfight are suspected to be used extensively along with grenades and GF rifles required for long range throwing. These weapons were looted from the armoury.
Meanwhile, the miscreants also torched houses at Langgol in Imphal West district. The army was stationed in the area a week ago, but some houses in the village were burnt after the army withdrew. The government quarters in Langol, abandoned by people fleeing the violence of the past three months, were also looted and ransacked. The miscreants also set ablaze some houses and a church at Ukha Tampak in Kwakta.
Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh claimed that there were huge security lapses in the terrorist attack on Kwakta Lamkhai incident. BJP MLA, who is Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, said that despite the presence of paramilitary forces in large numbers, militants from other districts came to the village and brutally killed three people. Imo Singh said that the so-called paramilitary forces on duty in the village need to be suspended. He said that we are regularly writing letters and memorandum to the Union Home Minister (Amit Shah) that some security forces are creating disturbance between the people and the state. The MLA said in a video message that some units of the security forces were creating problems. If appropriate action is not taken immediately, peace and normalcy will not be restored in the state.
