The officials advised people to refrain from "rumours or unverified information" in the official statement.

The Chief Minister's office clarified in another communication on Wednesday night that this office had shared intelligence inputs in a note on September 16 based on information gathered on the movement of armed groups, allowing the Police Department to use its resources to develop the said information and assess its actionability.

"It is now ascertained that the possibility of any such misadventure by armed groups is remote. The public need not worry further in this regard," the official communication said.

The official statement also asked the Department of Information and Public Relations to issue an advisory to the public in view of the same.

Earlier on Tuesday, several tribal organisations in Manipur including the Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) have advised people to stay inside and not travel near/outside Kuki-Zo dominated areas between September 26 and 29 anticipating an attack on Kuki-Zo tribals in the strife-torn state.
