Sources in the Manipur government said that around two battalions of Assam Rifles will be deployed in the Jammu region owing to recent spike in terror attacks. Assam Rifles has been hugely deployed in violence-hit Manipur since May 3 last year. Recently, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh held a meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah "Jammu and Kashmir already has some units of Assam Rifles," sources said.
