My question is what was his family doing close to border. Yes civilians should not be targeted but how his family reached border.

Brother this is border town not exactly border and quite often if posting is for long term officer allowed to keep their families in garrison.

 

[Tejas Spokesman]

Very sad but not alarming.
Casualties in entire North East are at a

record low.
Only 3 Security forces casualties before this incident so far in 2021.

Indian Northeastern rebels kill 5 Indian soldiers, 2 others in border state
By Wasbir Hussain | AP
Today at 5:28 a.m. EST

GAUHATI, India — At least five Indian soldiers and two civilians were killed Saturday in an ambush by suspected rebels in the northeastern state of Manipur bordering Myanmar, police said.
The rebels ambushed a convoy of India’s paramilitary soldiers who were on their way to inspect a remote village in Churachandpur district, a police officer in the state capital Imphal said. The dead include a colonel of the Assam Rifles, a paramilitary force of the Indian army, his wife and his son.

Police said the rebels opened fire with automatic weapons, killing all seven people on the spot.
Security reinforcements have been rushed to the area and launched a search for the rebels.

Police said it was likely the ambush was carried out by the People’s Liberation Army, a Manipur-based rebel group that has been fighting against Indian rule in the state. So far no rebel group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Manipur is plagued by a decades-old insurgency that seeks a separate homeland for its ethnic and tribal population.

Nearly 20 rebel groups are active in the remote state, which is expected to go to polls early next year.

Very sad but not alarming.

A perfect example to not worry about Indian losses be it 1 or 7. Like expendables, they are. This makes the difference.

What is People’s Liberation Army, the Terror Outfit Likely Behind Manipur Ambush That Killed 7 (news18.com)


The killing of an Indian Army Commanding Officer (CO) of the Assam Rifles and his family, along with three other soldiers of the Quick Response Team (QRT), in a militant attack in Manipur has brought back focus on the People’s Liberation Army, one of the largest and most dangerous terror outfits suspected to be behind the ambush.

The PLA was established by N Bisheshwar Singh on September 25, 1978, to “liberate” Manipur and demand “separation” from India. He had split from United National Liberation Front (UNLF) to form this group.

The group, which seeks “cessation from India”, is led by principles of Marxism- Leninism and Mao’s thoughts. It also enjoins Naga revolutionaries to join in its fight for Independence.

The outfit further looks for “War of Independence" with Chinese support, provoking the Naga and Mizo ‘revolutionaries’ to jointly fight against the common enemy.


According to information provided by the Indian Army, he “formulated a two-fold objection, to liberate the Eastern Region of India comprising the States of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura and the Union Territories of Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh through a carefully planned revolutionary uprising and to use this as a base for `liberating’ the rest of India”.

The PLA in 1989 formed a political body called the Revolutionary People’s Front (RPF) to prop up an alternative to mainstream parties. The RPF runs a government-in-exile in Bangladesh, as per the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), which maintains a comprehensive list of insurgent outfits operating in India.

It now has four divisions, namely Sadar Hill West areas of the Valley of Manipur, Sadar Hill areas in the eastern Valley, the entire hill areas in Manipur and the entire Imphal area. Each division has a commander, lieutenants, sergeant and lance corporals in its ranks, equipped with arms.

PLA is also a member of the Manipur People’s Liberation Front, an umbrella organisation of three separatist organisation of Manipur.
