Imphal, December 03 2023:
The PRO, Ministry of Defence, Manipur, Nagaland and Southern Arunachal Pradesh has refuted a report published on The Sangai Express which accused Kuki militants of attacking Meitei villages.
In a statement issued by the PIB Defence Wing, the PRO Ministry of Defence said the report published on December 2 under the heading "Again Kuki, militants attack Meitei villages" has "factually incorrect details including the actions taken by the Security Forces." With reference to the firing incident at villages located on the periphery of Lamlai Constituency, the article stated that Kuki militants fired indiscriminately using sophisticated weapons towards the villages.
However, no firing took place from the hill side and some rounds were fired from the valley, claimed the statement.
