The statement comes amid a shutdown called by Kuki groups in Manipur's Churachandpur and Kangpokpi districts over what they called a baseless report and part of a larger narrative, possibly intended to justify aggression against the Kuki tribes
The Manipur Security Adviser today said intelligence received from "different quarters" about infiltration by 900 Kuki militants from Myanmar could not be substantiated on the ground, and so "there is no basis currently to believe in any such input."
The statement comes amid a shutdown called by Kuki groups in all Kuki-dominated areas over what they called a baseless report and part of a larger narrative, possibly intended to justify aggression against the Kuki tribes.
The Kuki tribes had also protested demanding the resignation of the Security Adviser, following his "900 Kuki militants" comment.
