IMPHAL, 24 Sep: The Assam Rifles (AR) has written to the Manipur Police, stating that many trucks in Kakching district have been painted in camouflage colours with insignia of the paramilitary force, resembling their vehicles, an official said on Sunday.
\nIn a letter to the Churachandpur superintendent of police, the paramilitary force claimed that some men with the help of valley-based insurgent groups (VBIG) have acquired many trucks from markets and converted them to ones resembling the vehicles used by the Assam Rifles by painting and putting the insignia of the force.
\n“Conversion of civil vehicles to look alike of Assam Rifles vehicles clearly shows the nefarious intention of VBIGs to tarnish the image of Assam Rifles or to utilise the same for antinational activities” the letter read.
\nThe force also asked the Churachandpur police to disseminate the inputs to the SP of Kakching district and higher authorities, so that “preemptive action can be taken to avert any kind of adverse incident.”
\nManipur has been witnessing ethnic violence for more than four months.
\nMore than 175 people have been killed and several hundreds injured since ethnic clashes broke out in the state on 3 May. (PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
