Imphal, June 02 2015 :
The proscribed RPF/PLA has claimed that a team of its tactical command attacked and inflicted casualties on troops of 44 AR who were led by a Major at the Asang Khullen-Makan village junction in Ukhrul district at 12.40 pm yesterday.
On learning that troops of 44 AR have been harassing civilians at the area, PLA cadres laid an ambush but the AR troops were preceded by Manipur police and Manipur Rifles personnel.
After letting off the Manipur police and MR personnel, the PLA cadres attacked the AR troops who came behind.
Manipur police and MR personnel were let off unharmed in line with RPF's policy which does not see Manipur police and Manipur Rifles as adversary forces, conveyed a press release issued by the outfit's Publicity Secretary Roben Khuman.
Meanwhile, PLA's Chief of Army Staff has congratulated all those who planned, executed the attack as well as those who provided logistic support, it added.
