Manipur horror: Martyr’s house makes hamlet state’s most protected

A village, half of it burnt down, in Manipur’s Kangpokpi is guarded 24x7 by BSF troops, making it one of the most protected places in the state — because of one special house there. The house in Maphou was home to BSF sub-inspector Paotinsat Guite, killed fighting the Pakistan army on the LoC in J&K on December 1, 2020. He was given a Kirti Chakra in 2022 for his bravery in foiling Pakistan's attempt to push in terrorists. Maphou is the last one remaining in the block. All others were razed.
