Two cadre of the Manipur extremist outfit, People’s Liberation Army (PLA), were executed at the Nanyang Wakathan camp of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang-Yung Aung) in Myanmar on August 16-17 for deserting the organisation, according to security agencies. The incident happened days after six members were killed in a factional fight, triggered by the decision of some cadre to desert the outfit, said an agency official. It took place on August 10 at the same camp in the Sagaing region of Myanmar, located across Pangsau Pass in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh, where the Manipur PLA has taken refuge on payment basis. The outfit on August 18 issued a statement accusing the Indian security forces of killing the cadre in a covert operation.More Related News
