Women activists in Manipur deliberately blocking routes, interfering in operations, says Indian Army

Noting multiple events in the past where women-led mobs interfered with the operations of security forces in Manipur, the Indian Army on Monday said that “blocking” the movement of security personnel is not only illegal but also damaging to their efforts to restore law and order.

In a tweet on Monday, the Spear Corps of the Indian Army posted a video showing several incidents of women activists “deliberately” interfering in the operations of the security forces, ranging from “blocking” their route to “accompanying armed rioters”.

“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.
