Imphal, July 28 2023:
State forces comprising personnel of 3rd IRB and 8th MR heading to Moreh following the exchange of fire between security forces and armed Kuki militants on Wednesday are being blocked by Kuki women at Tengnoupal.
According to reports received here, three buses and seven bullet proof vehicles transporting state forces from Imphal to Moreh have been denied access to the sensitive border town by a large number of Kuki women at Tengnoupal after the state force managed to cross Kuki villages namely Bongyang and Saivom villages.
Tengnoupal district police led by its SP met with the Kuki women to facilitate movement of the state forces towards Moreh but no understanding could be brought about.
The Kuki women stuck to their demand that no state forces would be allowed to enter Moreh under any circumstance.
The state police as such, are stationed at the camp of 20 Assam Rifles.
