The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is replacing Assam Rifles in Manipur, with one battalion already deployed and another by September 30. This move follows recent violence that left 12 dead. The Kuki Inpi Manipur opposes the replacement, citing Assam Rifles’ expertise in counter-insurgency operations.
