Imphal, August 25 2015:
Aimol villagers have been witnessing sporadic violence in the past two months, primarily created by rival groups, said a press note issued by PRO HQ IGAR (S).
The AR said that in the post inter-factional killing of one Walunglua Aimol on August 22 by the unknown gunmen, the security situation deteriorated with tensions running high.
The police and authorities responded to the situation by placing additional forces in the disturbed area.
Assam Rifles played role in diffusing the tense situation by relentless "domination and interaction" with villagers assuring them of their safety.
The Aimol area was visited by the senior ranking officers for spot security assessment.
