I WONDER : LET ME CORRECT = MAJOR, ASSISTANT COMMANDANT AMONG FIVE KILLED. ASST COMMANDANT IS NOT EQUAL TO CAPT AS THE GRADE PAYS ARE 5400 AND 6100 RESPECTIVELY.
Five security personnel including a Major and a Captain were killed as militants suspected to belong to the outlawed United National Liberation Front (UNLF), one of the oldest underground groups of Manipur, ambushed a patrol party of the Assam Rifles at Old Samtal in Chandel district bordering Myanmar on Monday.
The number of security personnel killed in attacks by militant groups in the current year in Manipur has now risen to 14. While six security personnel were killed between January and June, one JCO and two jawans were killed on October 31 in an ambush at Aibol Khul in Chandel district.
An army official said a patrol party of the 43 Assam Rifles was ambushed while it was on area domination duty in a thickly wooded area in Chandel district, leading to a fierce encounter in which five security personnel including the two officers were killed. The incident took place around 9:30 am. The incident occurred about 120 km east of Imphal.
The two officers killed in the ambush were Major Bhupinder Mehra and Raminder Kumar, the latter being an assistant commandant equivalent to that of a Captain. The ambush also came one day ahead of the 43rd foundation day of the UNLF, which was established with the aim of an “independent” Manipur.
