Imphal, August 02 2009:
Suspected Kuki militants have vandalised some vehicles travelling from Imphal to Silchar/Jiribam at T Khongnom, a little distance away from New Keithelmanbi along NH 53 this morning.
The suspected Kuki militants halted the vehicles at about 7.30 am and vandalised about 20 vehicles including Tata Sumos and buses reportedly for non-payment of 'annual tax'.
But when a combined team of Patsoi police and troops of 12 Maratha Light Infantry went to the area on receiving information about the vandalism, all the vehicles had already left the area.
Acting on a complaint filed by the Imphal-Silchar Road Transport Welfare Society, an FIR has been registered at Patsoi police station in connection with the act of vandalism.
