Since last one week, Manipur has been into the clutch of violence which has resulted in the death of at least four people, including a civilian, a militant and two Army personnel. As per the reports presented by the Imphal Free Press on Friday, the army jawans have attained the martyrdom in separate incidents and the militant and the civilian were killed in separate incidents.
A suspected militant was shot dead by the 38 Assam Rifles about 6 km from Kangpokpi town at 10 pm on March 2. The militant has been identified as 22-year-old Rexcy Lhouvum who had been an active cadre of the Thadou People's Liberation Army. Some unidentified gunmen shot dead a 23-year-old youth named Thokchom Jagat near his house in Imphal city, just a few hours after the militant was killed. As reported by The Sangai Express, the youth was returning home after attending Thabal Chongba dance performance
In another incident on March 5, A soldier of the 13 Sikh Light infantry succumbed to his injuries at the Leimakhong military hospital in Imphal West. The soldier was injured in a gunfight with suspected National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak Muivah) in Tamenglong district. As reported by the Imphal Free Press, the incident took place when two teams of the infantry division had been patrolling in Nungadang and Molphei villages soon after they had got the reports of clashes between the NSCN-IM and the Zeliangrong United Front. The gunfight lead to bullet injury on the chest of Amarsheer Singh of Fazilka, Punjab, which later proved to be fatal for the martyred soldier.
On the other hand, The Sangai Express reported that The NSCN (IM) (which is also in talks with the Central government to find a resolution to the Naga political question) denied its connection with the encounter on Friday. The report called the Army's accusations 'highly immature' and 'questionable' as the Centre is trying hard to find the solution for the Naga dispute, with the help of the Nagas.
Though the violence against the security forces has not been revoked in the state and is continued while the patrolling team of 28 Rajput rifles in Chandel district along the Indo-Myanmar border, was in the ambush operation on March 6. The incident resulted in the casualty of one soldier and three others were injured after the militants from the United National Liberation Front detonated three improvised explosive devices. The martyred soldier has been identified as Abhijit Mondal who hailed from West Bengal's Nadia district.
