Guwahati, Aug 09:\u00a0<\/strong>An Assam Rifles officer was injured on Tuesday in an incident of firing by suspected militants on troops of the paramilitary force from across the India-Myanmar border in Arunachal Pradesh, a defence spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The incident took place near Pangsau Pass when the insurgents fired on a patrolling team of Assam Rifles, he said.<\/p>\n

“An incident of firing on Assam Rifles troops by militant groups from across the Indo Myanmar border took place early morning in the general area of Tirap and Changlang district,”<\/strong> Tezpur-based defence spokesperson Lt Col AS Walia said.<\/p>\n

The Assam Rifles troops were undertaking enhanced patrolling activities in view of heightened vigil for Independence Day, he said.<\/p>\n

“A junior commissioned officer sustained an injury in his hand,”<\/strong> the spokesman added. Members of NSCN-KYA are suspected to have been involved in the firing.<\/p>\n

It is suspected that two militant groups, the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I<\/a><\/span>) and the Yung Aung faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-KYA) are involved in the shoot-out and this occurred after the militant groups called for a boycott of the Independence Day celebrations in the region.<\/p>\n

According to Lt Col A S Walia, PRO (Defence), Tezpur, in the heavy exchange of firing one Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) sustained a minor injury in the hand. However, no other injury or damage has been reported.<\/p>\n

He further stated that the Assam Rifles will continue to enhance their surveillance owing to keeping a check on such incidents in the area ahead of the Independence Day celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
