Manipur Police detain 255 individuals, uncover cache of weapons in statewide crackdown

In a concerted effort to maintain law and order, Manipur Police have undertaken extensive search operations, movement facilitation, and naka checking across various districts of the state. This crackdown has resulted in the detention of 255 individuals suspected of violating regulations, along with the seizure of a significant cache of weapons.

The operations, spanning both hill and valley districts, have seen the installation of 130 nakas/checkpoints strategically positioned to monitor and regulate movement.

The recovery included an array of weaponry, comprising a CMG with Magazine, a 9mm Pistol with Magazine, a Hy cal. 70mm launcher, two country-made Pumpi Guns, HE-36 Hand Grenades, IEDs with iron containers, live ammunition rounds, and a Baofeng Set Motorola with charger.
