Imphal, May 11: Security forces have arrested 13 insurgents from five different groups across Manipur as part of an intensified operation against insurgency in the state.
“The operations, conducted over the past 36 hours, targeted vulnerable locations and led to the recovery of arms, ammunition, 13 communication devices, extorted money, two four-wheelers, and other incriminating materials,” a police official said.
Among those arrested were four cadres of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP-MC Progressive), apprehended from hideouts in Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Thoubal, and Bishnupur districts.
In separate raids, three members of the KCP People’s War Group were detained from Thoubal, Imphal West, and Bishnupur.
According to police, the arrested insurgents were involved in extortion activities targeting government departments, officials, and the general public in the valley regions.
“Our crackdown against insurgent groups will continue. We will take all possible measures to flush out the insurgents from Manipur,” the official added.
The intensified operation comes in the wake of President’s Rule being imposed in Manipur following two years of ethnic violence.
