2 CRPF personnel killed, 2 injured in militant attack in Manipur

NEW DELHI: Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers were killed in action and two others were injured in a bomb attack by suspected Kuki insurgents at a camp of the Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) at Naranseina village of Bishnupur district in Manipur on Saturday. 
The insurgents used ‘pumpy gun’, a crude form of handmade artillery, to carry out attacks on the CRPF personnel, sources said.
The attack began around midnight and went on until 2.15 am, sources said.
Top police sources said the two soldiers who died in action belonged to the CRPF’s 128 Battalion. They have been identified as sub-inspector N Sarkar and head constable Arup Saini. The injured are inspector Jadav Das and constable Aftab Das. 
Militants hiding in the hills are likely to increase attacks in the coming days. A massive combing operation has been launched in the area to track down the insurgents, they added.
