On a regular Monday in Imphal, Manipur, an unfortunate event occurred as the advance security convoy of Chief Minister N Biren Singh was ambushed by suspected militants in Kangpokpi district. The incident left one personnel injured, according to the local police.
The convoy was en route to the troubled Jiribam district, which has been experiencing violence in recent days. As the convoy made its way, multiple gunshots were fired at the vehicles by the attackers. The security forces swiftly retaliated, leading to a tense shootout that is still ongoing near Kotlen village along National Highway-53.
During the attack, one personnel was unfortunately hit by a bullet and sustained injuries, as reported by the police. In the meantime, CM Biren Singh, who was still in Delhi at the time, had planned to visit Jiribam to assess the situation in the district.
However, this plan was put on hold due to the ambush. An official told PTI that the Chief Minister was yet to return to Imphal and was planning to visit Jiribam when the incident occurred. This further adds to the gravity of the situation and the need for immediate action.
It is worth noting that this attack comes just two days after suspected militants set fire to two police outposts, a forest beat office, and over 70 houses in Jiribam. These ongoing acts of violence have caused turmoil and fear among the residents of the district. The authorities must act swiftly to bring peace and stability back to Jiribam and ensure the safety of its people.
