Imphal, June 27 2014 :
Reacting to the news items published in some sections of the media about the bandh threat given by Thadou Students' Association (TSA), 7th IRB CO KC Lokho has clarified that the vehicle involved in the incident was not of the Commandant even though it belonged to the 7th IRB .
The Commandant was not at the spot when the accident occurred.
"The first priority on our part when we learnt that the incident had occurred was to save lives and help the injured get the best medical help and care.
And we did our best in the circumstances to extend help to the injured persons out of humanitarian considerations.
If there is a different opinion about this, we will not dwell on it because truth has a way to be known eventually", said a press release issued by 7th IRB Commandant KC Lokho.
In the incident reported, the Alto car hit the bus of 7th IRB in the middle of its body on the right side.
The same Alto car also hit a civilian truck coming in the same directed as the bus when it veered away after hitting the bus which probably caused damage to the car and injuries to its occupants.
