Imphal, November 28 2012:
Assam Rifles has vehemently denied the opinion expressed in some newspapers that the blast which occurred in Khurai Chairen Thongkhong along Imphal Ukhrul road, resulting in injury to one civilian was because of the bomb being accidentally dropped from the Assam Rifles vehicles.
Reacting vehemently to the opinions expressed, the PRO HQ IGAR (South), in a statement, said that such an opinion is totally absurd and possibly the result of a perverse imagination motivated by anti national elements.
The blast was triggered by either a grenade or explosive placed by the UGs on a crowded stretch of road where civilians were present when the Assam Rifles convoy was passing by, the release expressed while adding that recent acts of violence have mostly targeted civilians without any humanitarian consideration for local populace.
Assam Rifles have always remained the 'Friends of Manipur' people and condemn all such incidents of violence perpetrated by anti national elements.
