Imphal, October 14 2023:
Strongly condemning the report aired by North East Live and local media about the ambush by suspected Kuki militants on a police team led by additional SP Ts Chamna between Lokchao and Khudengthabi along Imphal-Moreh road on October 12, Kuki Inpi, Tengnoupal district (KIT) has termed the news report as fake and fabricated.
According to a KIT statement, the fake news report was based on the report of additional superintendent of police Ts Chamna, who has hidden motives to malign the image and reputation of Kuki-Zo community of Tengnoupal district.
The action of instigating violence on innocent people in the name of peace, law and order by means of fake propaganda exposes the evil intention to bring in more state force/ police commando in Tengnoupal district, KIT said, while asserting that deployment of state forces in Moreh and Tengnoupal district is not helpful for maintaining peace and law and order.
It also said that withdrawal of state forces from Moreh and Tengnoupal district is the need of the hour.
