that in case the family informs
the Police about the grenade,
then the family should deliver
INR 200,000, otherwise, they
should bring the grenade to
them. The note however did

Meanwhile, Security Forces (SFs) arrested one United National
Liberation Front (UNLF)
cadre from L Slabjang village
under Thinghat subdivision

reports The Sangai Express.
He has been identified as
Hari Das alias Manglemjao
who reportedly deserted from
Senam Camp in Myanmar
on June 16. One 7.62mm pistol,
three live rounds have been
recovered from his possession.
Separately, referring to the reported initiative of
Chief Minister O Ibobi to
incorporate Highway Patrolling
Scheme in the 12th Plan and
Home Minister Gaikhangam’s
idea to raise some battalions
of Highway Protection Force
(HPF), the Progressive faction
of People’s Revolutionary
Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK-Pro)
has questioned the very idea
of raising HPF and its practical
utilities. In a statement
issued by the outfit’s senior
publicity officer, department
of publicity and propaganda
Boby Mangang, the outfit pre-cautioned
the State Government about
communal polarisation and
ethnic conflicts that may
arise from the activities
of armed HPF personnel patrolling
the highways. |
