During the incident two Assam Rifles personnel identified as warrant officer Balwant Singh and Rifleman CM Singh who was a driver of 40 Assam Rifles Shangshak battalion, both residents of Uttrakhand, sustained bullet injuries which later succumbed to injuries. Manipur police in a separate statement issued on the same day operations are underway to neutralise the militants.

During the subsequent sanitisation and search operation, security forces recovered one unexploded IED from the site. The chief minister conveyed his condolences to the bereaved families....
