00:00 There is still a lot of tension in the state of Manipur even though the things have significantly

00:09 improved.

00:10 There have been instances of militant activity in the past and now in the present.

00:14 Recently an ID was planted in the Tengnupol district of Saibol area according to reports

00:19 of one such incident.

00:20 As the soldiers were conducting a routine patrol on Thursday morning, an Assam Rifles

00:24 troop was ambushed.

00:25 Reportedly, the ID was planted at a convoy in Saibol area in a bid to target Assam Rifles

00:30 during the patrol.

00:31 Fortunately, the soldiers travelling in a mine-protective vehicle escaped unhurt, yet

00:36 they escaped very narrowly.

00:38 In return, there were also some gunfire exchanges prompting a search operation from the attackers.

00:44 Meanwhile, the indigenous tribal leaders' form ITLF of the Kukizho community has declared

00:49 a self-rule in three districts of Manipur.

00:52 The Kukizho people in Tengnupol, Kangopi and Churachandpur districts will be governed by

00:56 self-rule expressing their detachment from the Mehti Manipur government.

01:00 Reportedly, ITLF mentioned, "We don't concern ourselves if the central government acknowledges

01:05 us.

01:06 This plan has been under deliberation for a month."

01:09 He emphasized that a union government's selective justice prompted the self-rule declaration.

01:13 Previously, the ITLF had given a two-week ultimatum, a warning for the establishment

01:18 of self-government regardless of the central government's recognition.

01:22 In addition, this announcement came after the central government's decision to ban

01:25 nine Mehti groups from operating.

01:28 These extremist groups, the majority of which are based in Manipur, were designated as "unlawful

01:32 associations" on Monday by the Ministry of Home Affairs in accordance with the Unlawful

01:36 Activities and Provision Act (UAPA) for a five-year period.

01:40 The Home Ministry said in a notification that the groups were prohibited from engaging in

01:45 activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India.

01:49 As per HMO, the organization's secessionist, subversive, terrorist and violent activities

01:54 have resulted in their designation as "illegal associations".
