Imphal, March 05 2011:
A press release of PRO, HQ IGAR (S) today refuted news reports published in some local newspapers on February 20 and March 5 that the AR picked up youths from Wangoi and Lilong.
Claiming the report as false and baseless, it stated that 12 MLI and 42 AR were not operating in the areas on the mentioned days.
It further stated that the news report published on March 5 saying that the troops of 42 AR handed over Kumar Rashid to Thoubal Police Station is also false.
Such issues are fuelled by some vested interests to tarnish the good relations between the SF and the public in the state.
In both cases AR had approached the police and locals to extend full support in finding out the missing persons, it stated.
