At least three tribals were gunned down by unidentified men in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district on Tuesday morning, an official said. He said the ambush took place between Ireng and Karam Vaiphei villages in tribal-dominated Kanggui area. “The incident took place in the morning when unidentified men gunned down three civilians in an area between Ireng and Karam Vaiphei,” the official said.
Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU), a Kangpokpi-based civil society organisation, condemned the attack. “If the Union government is serious about its appeal for restoration of normalcy, it must immediately declare all the valley districts as disturbed areas and impose the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958,” COTU said in a statement.
