Assam Police Steps Up Vigil to Prevent Manipur Violence Spillover

Assam Police is on high alert to prevent unrest from Manipur spilling into the state. Attempts by Meitei and Kuki groups to hold rallies were denied to avoid tension. Miscreants tried creating unrest during the transport of encounter victims’ bodies, which were later airlifted to Manipur.

Border security has been increased, but terrain challenges persist. The risk of looted arms from Manipur reaching Assam adds to concerns.
