Imphal, November 29:
Apropos to the news item published under the caption "GR man killed" in The Sangai Express edition of Nov 24, Kuki Students' Organisation, Khengjoi Block has clarified that the young girl Chinhoikim Touthang was killed by a landmine blast suspected to have been planted by UGs.
Refuting the allegations that the young child was killed when the security personnel used her as a human mine sweeper, KSO appealed to all the organisations concerned to stop attacking innocent civilians.
The incident took place near Somtal and not between Molcham and Tuileng, added KSO.
Meanwhile, Kuki Students' Organisation Chandel dist has appealed to all the UG organisations to refrain from planting bombs or any kind of explosive materials in the areas under its jurisdiction.
Terming the death of Chinhoikim Touthang as very unfortunate, KSO Chandel has urged the Govt to deploy adequate security personnel at New Samtal area so that such incidents are not repeated again.
