IMPHAL: With a string of successful operations that resulted in arrests and the seizure of weapons and ammunition, Manipur Police have struck a major blow to militant groups that operate in the state.

Three Kangleipak Communist Party (MFL) members were arrested on December 18 at the Thangmeiband Watham Leirak crossing in Imphal West. A 9mm and a .32 handgun, together with ammunition, cell phones, and a two-wheeler, were discovered in the custody of the arrested persons, Gotimayum Shridevi Devi, Abujam Manosh Singh, and Abujam Sunder Singh.

In Makou Pourabi, Imphal East District, security personnel successfully demolished two underground organisation camps during a cordon and search operation. An air gun, cell phones, a BP helmet, uniforms, an INSAS LMG magazine, ammo, a bayonet, dummy guns, walkie-talkie sets, and vehicles were found during a raid on a PREPAK camp-cum-training centre and a KYKL hideout.

Two KCP (PWG) members engaged in extortion were apprehended in Mantripukhri Bazaar, Imphal East District, in another remarkable operation. Demand letters, cash receipt notes, cell phones, cash, ID cards, a scooter, and a sling bag were discovered in the possession of Sanjrambam Luha Meitei and Nongthombam Itombi Meitei.

Two SLRs, an INSAS weapon, and ammunition have been recovered from Bongbal Khullen Village, Imphal East District, as a consequence of additional search and area domination operations conducted throughout the state.

These effective operations show how dedicated the Manipur Police and security services are to stopping terrorist activity and preserving regional peace and security.
