Imphal, October 20 2026: Reacting to a news published by this paper, the Assam Rifles has refuted an "incorrect report" that its personnel blocked rescue of stranded locals affected by firing incident on October 19 near village K Tangkhul.

"On the contrary, Assam Rifles personnel actively undertook the rescue and evacuation of stranded individuals following the firing incident at Khongbal Tangkhul on 19 October 2026 .

The information that they obstructed casualty recovery is incorrect and baseless," it said in a statement.

On hearing gunfire at approximately 0950 hours, Assam Rifles personnel immediately mobilised and reached Khongbal Tangkhul village by 1010 hours.

On learning that four individuals remained in harm's way, near the incident site, the team proceeded towards the location, accompanied by local villagers.

Assam Rifles personnel reached the location by 1045 hours, rescued the affected individuals by 1105 hours, administered first aid and undertook their evacuation to Khongbal Tangkhul village, said the paramilitary force.

"The actions of Assam Rifles, therefore, were directed towards rescuing and evacuating those stranded, rather than preventing access to them," it added.
