Event Summary

The Indian government has ordered the deployment of two battalions of the India — Central Reserve Police Force's elite jungle warfare unit, Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), to India — Manipur. This move comes in response to ongoing ethnic violence between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo groups that has resulted in over 260 deaths and thousands displaced since May 2023. The India — Ministry of External Affairs approved the proposal, and the CoBRA units, including battalion no 207 from India — West Bengal and 210 from India — Assam, will undertake specific operations against armed groups to restore peace. This redeployment is possible due to a reduction in Left Wing Extremism operations, where CoBRA units were previously primarily deployed. The deployment is expected to occur over the next few weeks, with potential future deployments to India — Jammu and Kashmir also under consideration.
