In the wee hours of 29 June, Assam Rifles columns deployed at National Sports University & K Munlai heard the sound of a heavy volume of automatic weapons firing from multiple directions towards Haraothel Village.
Two columns of Assam Rifles were immediately mobilized. Swift and calibrated response by own troops resulted in the situation coming under control. Later, while undertaking operations in the area, own troops also met with interference from the mob which was effectively controlled.
The sound of intermittent firing between the groups was also heard at 4 pm, but the situation was diffused by the prompt response. In addition, at approx 5.15 PM, an exchange of fire was reported from the general direction of Village Bethel, South of National Sports University. Own columns have been launched to dominate the area and the situation is being monitored.
