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 a bomb accidently dropped from one of their vehicles.
Reacting to the report, PRO HQ IGAR (South) 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 terrorists on crowded stretch of road where civilians were present when the Assam Rifles convoy passed by.
Recent terrorist acts have mostly targeted innocent 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, the PRO added.
