A timely intervention by troops of the Assam Rifles averted potential trouble in Manipur after the medical staff of a hospital lost their way and drove towards a sensitive area amid the ethnic tensions between the Kuki-Zo tribes and the Meitei community, army sources said.
Three men of the Meitei community who work in a hospital in the state capital Imphal had taken a wrong turn in their Toyota car near Imphal West district on Tuesday, sources said.
They inadvertently strayed into a Kuki-dominated area ahead of Kangchup in Imphal West district, army sources said. The two communities are so sharply divided now that people from either community are not going to areas where those from the other community are dominant.
