The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the suggestion made by the Counsel appearing for Kuki tribes to deploy Indian Army and para military forces for providing security and to prevent further attacks in the state of Manipur.
The hill state has witnessed one of the worst incidents of ethnic violence in decades during the months of June and July.
