Large number of Kuki women thronged the Assam Rifles post at Inspection Bungalow (IB) in Moreh after Kuki shop runners were asked to down shutters for violating the curfew imposed by the district administration in connection with the prevailing tension at the border town.
According to a report, AR troopers forced all those who opened shops during curfew hours to close the same, and went on to initiate legal action against the shop owners for curfew violation.
Peeved that AR had taken up action against the curfew violators, a huge crowd of Kuki women thronged the AR camp at Moreh IB.
As such, the RAF personnel deployed in Moreh were called in to the location to control the situation.
Later, an officer from 5 AR camp arrived at the spot and talked to the agitating women, following which the protest was withdrawn.
