In a significant operation against illegal arms in Manipur, security forces and state police conducted coordinated raids on Wednesday across Churachandpur and Thoubal districts, leading to the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition.
In Churachandpur district, a major search operation was carried out at Dampi Ridge, near the Songphel area under the jurisdiction of Churachandpur Police Station. During the operation, security personnel seized a considerable stockpile of arms, ammunition, and tactical equipment. The discovery has prompted a thorough investigation to trace the source of the weapons and identify the groups involved in their possession or use.
Officials stated that these operations are part of an intensified effort to curb the proliferation of illegal arms in the region, particularly amid ongoing tensions. Security forces are expected to continue similar search missions in the coming days to dismantle any remaining illegal networks and maintain stability in the affected districts.
