Imphal, August 10 2023:
Even though government assured of deploying security forces to enable farmers to take up farming activities, Kuki militants continue to fire towards farmers in some areas particularly at the foothills when the farmers venture out in their farm to carry out their farming activities.
In one such incident, Kuki militants fired some rounds towards farmers at Mangrarou in Tairenpokpi area of Imphal West district at about 5 pm on Wednesday.
The unprovoked gunshots from the Kuki militants forced the farmers to flee for safety.
Though the firing caused no casualty, persistent unprovoked firing from Kuki militants upon farmers in the foothills has been hampering monsoon farming activities severely, which will lead to food security issues next year.
