In a brazen attack by suspected Kuki militants in the Naransena area of Manipur's Bishnupur district, two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and two others sustained critical injuries. The deceased personnel belonged to the CRPF's 128 Battalion, which was deployed for security duties in the region. The incident took place in the wee hours today.
The 6-point demands comprise implementing NRC with 1951 as the base year, revoking the Suspension of Operation agreement with Kuki militants, relocating all Myanmarese refugees to Mizoram, implementing border fencing, replacing Assam Rifles with other Central forces, and delisting Kukis from the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list.
