The ITBP honors Havildar Jungkhokai Kuki, who was killed in a militant attack in Arunachal Pradesh, recognizing his bravery and sacrifice.
Changlang, November 2 (Daily Kiran) : The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) honored Havildar Jungkhokai Kuki, who was martyred in a militant attack in Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh. The tribute was shared on social media platform X, where the ITBP acknowledged Kuki’s ultimate sacrifice during the ambush in Nampong.
In their message, the ITBP stated, “We pay tribute to Havildar Jungkhokai Kuki of the 21 Assam Rifles, who made the supreme sacrifice during the militant attack in Nampong. His courage and dedication will always be remembered.”
On September 29, a team from the 21 Assam Rifles was patrolling near the India-Myanmar border when suspected militants ambushed them. The attack occurred near the Nampong stream while the soldiers were conducting routine patrols in an area where border fencing was underway.
Havildar Kuki, 42, lost his life in the attack, while four other soldiers sustained injuries. Initial reports indicated that the militants opened fire unexpectedly, leading to Kuki’s immediate death. The injured soldiers were promptly hospitalized for treatment.
Following the incident, security forces launched a comprehensive search operation in the area and deployed additional personnel to the scene. A thorough manhunt is ongoing for the attackers. There are suspicions regarding the involvement of militants linked to the NSCN-K-YA, although this has not been officially confirmed.
