During the Second World War, Ningthoukhong was a central point of fighting between the British, located in Maibam Lokpa Ching of Bishnupur (Northern direction) and the approaching Indian National Army (INA), and Japanese soldiers from Moirang (Southern direction). On the night of 6th-7th June, 1944, an attack was made by the Japanese. The attack largely fell on a British Army position held by a platoon of which Serjeant Turner of the West Yorkshire Regiment was a Section Commander. The Japanese soldiers used hand grenades with deadly effect, destroying three machine-gun positions in the platoon, who were forced to give ground. Serjeant Turner armed with grenades, boldly and fearlessly attacked the Japanese single handed. He went back five times for more grenades; and on the sixth occasion, still singlehanded, he was killed while throwing a grenade. Serjeant Turner, of Halifax, England, was awarded a Victoria Cross for his bravery. He is buried in the Imphal War Cemetery, Plot 6. Row B. Grave 7.
The town was completely destroyed during the war between these two forces. After the Second World War the native people returned to rebuild and inhabit the town.
