The Indian Army, in coordination with the Manipur Police, launched a joint operation on 26 April in the general area of Moltingcham (2.5 km SE of Sugnu) in Churachandpur district, leading to the recovery of eight weapons comprising one Self Loading Rifle (SLR), two single-barrel rifles, one bolt-action rifle, four modified long-range mortars (Pompi), grenades, ammunition, and war-like stores.
Multiple joint operations by the Indian Army, Assam Rifles, and Manipur Police conducted in the hill and valley districts resulted in the apprehension of 16 cadres from the valley- and hill-based insurgent groups, along with the recovery of a pistol, mobile phones, two-wheelers, and currency.
The apprehended cadres and the recovered items have been handed over to Manipur Police.
These coordinated efforts by security forces highlight their unwavering commitment to maintaining peace and security in Manipur.
