25 members of Meitei extremist group NRFM join UNLF

Around 25 members of Meitei extremist group National Revolutionary Front Manipur (NRFM) have joined the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), which signed a peace agreement with the Centre last week.

According to an official statement, the development is likely to give a momentum to the Centre’s efforts to restore peace and normalcy in ethnic strife-torn Manipur.

Following the signing of the peace agreement between the UNLF and the governments in Manipur and at the Centre on November 29, around 25 members of the NRFM, led by Major Boicha (vice-chief of the army staff of the outfit), with 25 weapons, joined the UNLF on December 2, the statement said.
