Ningthoukhong is a town and a Municipal Council having 14 wards in Bishnupur district in the Indian state of Manipur.

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).

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.
