A day after a mob from Manipur's Moreh entered neighbouring Myanmar and torched a small army sentry post in protest against the killing of two Tamil men in that country, the authorities have tightened security in the border town, officials said on Thursday.
Additional personnel of the local police and paramilitary forces were deployed in Moreh in Tengnoupal district, where prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC have been imposed since Wednesday.
"The Manipur government is doing its best to bring home the bodies of the two Tamils. We are waiting for the Myanmar and India governments to sort out ways to hand over the bodies," Tribal Affairs and Hills Minister Letpao Haokip said.
