The HinduArmed men in police uniforms are a constant challenge for the Central security forces in violence-hit Manipur, a defence source said on September 10. Meanwhile, around 4,500 additional Central Armed Police Force personnel will be sent to the State after the conclusion of the G-20 summit in Delhi, a senior government official said, adding that a request has been made to the State government to provide accommodation to the Central forces since schools and colleges have reopened. The source said that Central security forces deployed in the buffer zone were able to thwart the attack, though arson took place and several houses in the village, and those in Pallel market were destroyed. If he fails to keep his word we shall resume various forms of agitations.” Another woman activist said, “There have been instances of Assam Rifles siding with the Kuki militants.” The defence source said that Central forces including the Army have been requisitioned by the State government and are manning the buffer zones to control violence between both communities.
