Manipur’s Divide
The ethnic tensions in Manipur between the Kuki-Zo tribes and the Meitei community have brought the state's governance under intense scrutiny.
In a major operation, the Assam Rifles seized a large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives, including 15 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and 42 country-made grenades, from Manipur’s Tengnoupal district.
Acting on precise intelligence, the operation was launched in Senam village, where search teams used advanced detection equipment and sniffer dogs to uncover the hidden arsenal.

This operation follows a string of successful actions by the Assam Rifles in the region, where it has apprehended cadres from militant outfits like the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and United National Liberation Front-Koireng (UNLF-K) in the past month.
