Manipur CM N Biren Singh suspects ‘foreign mercenaries’ hand in fresh attack against security forces
security forces personnel are in a critical stage and are receiving treatment in Imphal. Manipur CM visited the injured soldiers in the hospital and said that the state government is “committed to tackling those bent on destabilizing Manipur, ensuring justice for the victims with decisive actions against the responsible parties." While speaking on the recent attack on security forces, N Biren Singh said, "Search and combing operations are widely going on.
