Imphal, November 14 2026: Ukhrul AC MLA Ram Muivah has written to Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh urging him to ensure foolproof security among the NH-202 between Mahadev and New Haven and give directions to the police to conduct combing operations in suspected militant hideouts.

The letter of the MLA to the Chief Minister came following the ambush yesterday at New Haven which killed four, including a mother and son, and two siblings.

Copies of the letter were also submitted to Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam and Director General of Police Mukesh Singh.

The tragic incident [fatal ambush] is not an isolated incident.

Repeated attacks along the stretch between Litan and New Haven have created an atmosphere of extreme fear, insecurity, and vulnerability among commuters, said the MLA in his letter to the CM .

The absence of adequate security coverage along this vital lifeline has left innocent travellers exposed to grave danger, said the MLA.

"I have also repeatedly written to you on this serious matter.

Enough is enough.

The State Government must provide foolproof security, especially between Mahadev and New Haven, NH 202, which is a short stretch of less than 15 Km..." .

Repeated ambush by Kuki terrorists with impunity has so far claimed the lives of nine persons, added the MLA .

Ram also pointed out that over 100 police personnel and over 800 MR of Ukhrul are being utilized outside the district when the district is in need of a strong security force.

The State Government must immediately send the personnel back to Ukhrul district to strengthen local law enforcement, highway patrolling and protection of the people, he added.

The MLA further urged the Chief Minister to advise the DGP to carry out combing operations at Yaolen, Mongkot Chepu, Shangkai and Lamlai Chingphei and arrest suspected terrorists who may be hiding in the villages.

He further reiterated that the Chief Minister must intervene to provide foolproof security along the NH-202 between Mahadev and New Haven.
