The Indian Army has urged people to support its efforts towards restoring peace and normalcy in violence-hit Manipur.
The Army late last evening said women activists have been deliberately blocking routes and interfering in security forces' operations in the Northeastern state.
It shared a video on Twitter highlighting such instances, including last week's standoff when the Army – after being surrounded by a women-led mob of 1,200 people in Manipur's Itham village – had to let go of 12 militants to save civilians' lives.
"Women activists in Manipur are deliberately blocking routes and interfering in Operations of Security Forces. Such unwarranted interference is detrimental to the timely response by Security Forces during critical situations to save lives and property. Indian Army appeals to all sections of the population to support our endeavours in restoring peace," Spear Corps of the Indian Army said in a tweet.
