Phaikoh Village lies in the border between Manipur (India) and Myanmar. The famous ‘Myanmar attack’ that Indian Army have claimed to have carried out against Naga/Metei millitant camps in the Manipur Myamar border or inside Myanmar, to take revenge against Manipur Ambush at Chandel which killed 20 soldiers, wouldn’t have been possible without passing through Phaikoh Village, Ukhrul Manipur. Photo journalist and freelancer Deepak Shijagurumayum and few of his friends visited the border village to find out the truth.
