Army seeks info on entry of 900 Kuki militants

NEW DELHI, Sep 22
The Army has sought information from Manipur Security Advisor Kuldiep Singh to provide details on intelligence regarding the alleged entry of 900 Kuki militants from Myanmar on September 28.
A post on X by Spear Corps, Indian Army said, “These inputs have very serious security implications and office of Security Advisor has been requested to share the details so that appropriate necessary action can be taken at the earliest.”
A defence source said the inputs were yet to be shared with the Army.
Mr Singh, while addressing a press conference in Imphal on September 20, had said that the Government is aware of intelligence inputs regarding the entry of “900 Kuki militants” on September 28 and “unless it is proven wrong it is 100% correct.”
The inputs were first shared by Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s office with the Director General of Police and the Security Adviser last week, a copy of the leaked letter showed.
