Imphal, July 03 2024:
Kadangband Apunba Nupi Lup has refuted the claim made by the JAC formed in connection with the killing of Thokchom Ibomcha about the presence of a camp of an armed group in Kadangband.
Addressing a press meet at Kadangband Part 2 community hall on Wednesday, Lup secretary Elangbam (o) Shanti Leima stated that the claim made by the JAC is baseless and false.
Since the outbreak of the conflict on May 3 last year, Kadangband has been under constant attacks of Kuki narco-terrorists.
Hence, village volunteers from various areas have been coming to Kadangband to defend the village from time to time and they leave the place when the situation cools down.
So, the claim by the JAC is very unfortunate, she mentioned.
Shanti further decried that the false claim has been made at a time when protests are being held to oppose any attempt to arrest VVs.
Appealing not to indulge in abduction and killing for monetary demand, she urged all to work together for resolving the crisis in the state.
