Imphal, September 26 2022:
Assam Rifles over the years have rendered yeoman service in the North East guarding the Indo Myanmar borders, conducting people friendly counter insurgency operations and more importantly providing succour and relief to the people of North East in times of need.
The history of the force is replete with acts of great valour, bravery and selfless service by its personnel.
Regrettably, certain sections of media have aired allegations, against this very force, which incidentally have been levelled by a proscribed group in Manipur whose sole purpose is to malign the image of Assam Rifles and also disturb peace & harmony in the region.
News Articles have been published with uncorroborated facts stated by the proscribed group and the same is strongly rebutted, the Assam Rifles said in a statement.
Further stating that indicators of normalcy in North East and consequent lifting of AFSPA is a welcome step, the statement contended that such a step is not acceptable to the proscribed groups even though it is a result of improved security situation brought in by the desire of the people to bring lasting peace in North East.
The Assam Rifles strongly denies undertaking any activity against the interests of local populace and remains committed to the security and well-being of the people of North East, it added.
