Manipur: Two injured in firing at Kamjong
Imphal (PTI): Two persons suffered gunshot injuries after armed miscreants opened fire at a village in Manipur’s Kamjong district on Tuesday morning, officials said.
The injured, identified as Ringyui Ramror (22) and Raichan Lungleng (34) from Sharkaphung village, suffered bullet wounds to their legs and feet, respectively, and were taken to Ukhrul district hospital for treatment. Both belong to the Tangkhul Naga community.
The firing allegedly originated from Mongkot Chepu in Ukhrul district, about 1 km from Sharkaphung, officials said, quoting local villagers.
The two villages are located close to Litan Sareikhong in Ukhrul district, where clashes between Kuki and Tangkhul Naga communities broke out in February, in which more than 30 houses were torched.
Meanwhile, the Central Working Committee of the Tangkhul Naga Foothills Organisation expressed "grave concern" over the violence, alleging involvement of Kuki militants operating under the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement.
It said inadequate deployment of security forces has left vulnerable areas exposed, putting civilian lives at risk, and demanded immediate intervention and deployment of state forces in Sharkaphung and nearby Thoyee village.

West Indies left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein set the tone with the new ball, returning tidy figures of 1/19, including 14 dot balls.
Reduced to 69/5 in 11 overs, Delhi found some late impetus through Tristan Stubbs (38; 31 balls) and Sameer Rizvi (40 not out; 24 balls), who stitched together a crucial 65-run (off 47 balls) stand to give the innings a respectable total.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals: 155 for 7 in 20 overs (Tristan Stubbs 38, Sameer Rizvi 40 not out; Noor Ahmed 2/22)
