Manipur ambush families seek justice

Singh expressed condolences to the families of Arubam Ronil, Lairenlakpam Inaobi and Kshetrimayum Sushil. He said the government would provide all possible assistance.

The chief minister also met representatives of the Joint Action Committee, heard their concerns and demands for justice, and said legitimate demands would be examined. Legislators Kh. Ibomcha Singh and Thokchom Lokeshwar Singh accompanied him.

Hospital visit and security operation

After leaving Nongshum, Singh visited a hospital in North AOC, Imphal, to enquire about two civilians injured in the attack. He directed hospital authorities to provide the best medical care.

The October 19 ambush targeted 14 Meitei men collecting firewood in the Sunurok hills of Kangpokpi district. Three were killed. The killings prompted protests in Manipur’s valley districts, including a clash with police outside a sports complex in Imphal while Singh was attending an event inside.

Joint security forces, including Central Reserve Police Force and CoBRA personnel, conducted an operation at the Sinai designated camp as part of an investigation into the suspected involvement of individuals associated with the camp.
