The Military had earlier counseled the commander in control of the Itham village operation for taking a “mature determination” which confirmed the “humane face of the Indian Military”.
“Preserving in view the sensitivity of the usage of kinetic power towards a big irate mob led by girls and sure casualties on account of such motion, a thought-about determination was taken at hand over all 12 cadres to the native chief,” it mentioned.
The standoff between the Military and the mob continued all through Saturday. The mob, led by girls, surrounded the Military column and prevented forces from going forward with the operation.
Repeated appeals to the aggressive mob to let safety forces stick with it with their operation didn’t yield any optimistic end result, after which the Military determined to launch the 12 members of the militant group Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL).

Amongst these holed up within the village was self-styled Lt Col Moirangthem Tamba alias Uttam, a needed terrorist who might have been the mastermind of the Dogra ambush tragedy.
