Bunkers to be removed within 10 days in Manipur

A day after Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said that bunkers set up in hills and valley areas will be pulled down by security forces, a defence source said that all such structures will be removed in the next ten days. The exercise will begin on July 5.

Mr. Singh said on Monday that the Army will lead the operations and will be joined by the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF).

Kuki groups said they will oppose any such attempt. On Tuesday, the representatives of Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) met GOC 3 Corps Lt. General H.S. Sahi in Churachandpur and told him that any move by the Army to destroy the bunkers will be faced with stiff resistance.
