In a series of coordinated operations, security forces dismantled camps and apprehended members of the banned militant groups in Manipur’s Imphal East and surrounding districts, police reported on Thursday.
In a continued crackdown on militant activities, security forces conducted a search and area domination operation in the Fungei Ching Ngamukhong area of Thoubal district, Manipur, recovering a substantial arsenal of weapons and explosives.
Security forces said on Friday that they recovered two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and explosive material in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch.
The Centre on Saturday asked all security forces to take necessary steps to restore order and peace in Manipur, and to take strict action against anyone trying to indulge in violent or disruptive activities
The attack unfolded around 3 pm on Sunday, with heavily armed militants firing on both the CRPF post at Jakuradhor and the police station.
The statement didn't say if there were any casualties on the side of the Afghan security forces.
It is also true that the insurgent has to succeed once to gain notoriety, while regular successes of security forces are brushed aside. The ambush on an army convoy in Chandel in Manipur leading to 20 dead in June 2015 is a case in point.
IGP’s appeal came following the recent encounter during which terrorists entered a mosque in Shopian.
Troops of the Army, CRPF and J&K police eliminated the five terrorists (3 in Reban Bandpawa area of Shopian and 2 in Semthan village of Bijbehara in Anantnag district) in the two encounters.
President Yoweri Museveni’s government, therefore, rests on a dubious foundation. Predictably, the authorities have denied targeting civilians. President Museveni is often credited with presiding over relative peace and security. But the election season was the most violent in years, with security forces accused of cracking down on supporters of Bobi Wine, Museveni’s main challenger.
