Police also arrested two active cadres of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Five other militants were arrested from three districts — Bishnupur, Imphal East, and Imphal West. Four grenades, one pistol, some varied ammunition, one two-wheeler, and few incriminating documents were recovered from them. At least 43 people, including 27 security personnel, were injured and a protester was killed during the clashes in Kangpokpi and a few other districts as the Kuki-Zo tribal organisations protested against the resumption of the bus services between Imphal and the hill districts. The KZC has been demanding the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Kang pokpi district, the cancellation of bus services and a government apology over the killing of Lalgouthang Singsit according to customary law. In a separate incident, the Army and the Assam Rifles in a joint operation dismantled a makeshift camp of the banned militant outfit United Kuki National Army (UKNA) in a forest near Songphu village in Churachandpur district. The UKNA is not a signatory of the Suspension of Operations pact with the central government.
