2 Assam Rifles battalions moved out of Manipur ignoring tribals’ protests

Amid protests from Manipur’s Kuki community, two Assam Rifles battalions were withdrawn from sensitive buffer zones in the region and moved to Nagaland. The CRPF battalions, replacing them, will undergo extensive training, and are recommended to be placed under Assam Rifles’ command for cohesive operations in Manipur, amid concerns over potential violence resurgence.
