In a bid to maintain law and order, security forces conducted search operations and area domination in the fringe and vulnerable areas of Manipur’s hill and valley districts. The operation led to the recovery of a significant cache of arms and ammunition from Loilamkot to Nalon under Henglep Police Station, Churachandpur District.

Recovered items include six Rocket IEDs with one launcher, one country-made mortar (Pompi), one 7.62mm sniper round, one sniper magazine, three tear smoke shells (short range), four tear smoke shells (CS gas), two tear smoke shells (normal), one 38mm riot control cartridge with rubber bullet, three IED shells, three helmets and three bulletproof jackets with one fiber plate.

Meanwhile, authorities ensured the safe movement of essential goods along National Highways 2 and 37, with 290 and 212 vehicles, respectively, being escorted under strict security measures. Security convoys were deployed in sensitive areas to facilitate uninterrupted and safe transportation.

Security forces continue to strengthen vigilance across the region to prevent any threats to public safety.
