Assam Rifles is completely unbiased, says DG Lt Gen P C Nair

The worst is behind Manipur, and the Northeastern state is on a path to peace, said Director General (DG) of Assam Rifles, Lt Gen P C Nair. Assam Rifles is the country’s oldest paramilitary force. He stressed that the force is unbiased and has destroyed bunkers, seized weapons and rescued innocent people from both communities in Manipur over the last four months. He said that we have soldiers from both the sides in our force and we have had no issue of any kind of rivalry among them. That truly speaks of the leadership that is there both in the Army and the Assam Rifles. The officers are giving all that they can to ensure peace,  he underlined. He also opined that the current unrest is not even close to the violence that took place in the 90s during the peak of Naga militancy.
