IMPHAL Oct 25: Suspected cadres of KNA clashed with KRA rebels again Thursday morning killing one at Khamenlok under Saikul police station taking the toll of the dead in the rival clashes to two since October 18.
The clash occurred amidst appeals by various Kuki civil bodies to refrain from acting like brutes with civilians and comrades alike considering the need for peace and social order in the Kuki society.
The clash reportedly occurred early this morning and the dead cadre may be one Lalboi of KNA. The dead body was retrieved from the spot this afternoon by the police, reports said.
Locals found the dead body of the man after sound of heavy firing was heard by the villagers of Khamenlok this morning.
Suspected KNA and KRA cadres have been engaged in gunfights since the last couple of weeks in the Kuki inhabited areas bordering Imphal east, Senapati and Ukhrul district.
It may be recalled that villagers of Saichang village under Lamlai village have been taking asylum at the neighbouring villages of Itham and Moirangpurel after fleeing their homes following factional clashes between Kuki armed groups. A civilian woman victim of the clash has also been hospitalizing at a hospital in Imphal since October 18.
In the meantime, stating that the clash among the rebel groups had caused immense trouble and miseries at Saichang village in Saikul sub-division, various Kuki civil bodies have appealed to the groups engaged in the fight to shun the same for sake of peace and social order.
A joint statement signed by the president of KSO (Sadar Hills), vice chairman, KUMHUR, Dr. S Chongloi, KSO headquarter president P Simte, president Kuki Inpi (Sadar Hills) Chungkam Haokip, president Kuki Women’s Union, Rose Mangsi Haokip and president of Sadar Hills Chiefs Association, Aneh Chongloi also lauded the people of Moirangpurel and volunteers of AMUCO for giving shelter and providing humanitarian help to the displaced villagers.
“Such incidences of intra-party fighting, violence and internecine killings have marred the Kuki society to an unfathomable degree in the past years,” the statement said.
They also lamented that the groups who were posing to spearhead the cause of the people with sophisticated arms have lead haywire the cause of their struggle and the wishes and aspirations of the Kuki people will never be met if they (armed groups) continue to disturb the public peace and create social tragedy.
