Army and Assam Rifles along with Police & CAPFs commenced Area Domination Operations in the Hills and Valley area across Manipur today. As part of joint strategy for recovery of snatched weapons, these operations are significant for restoring peace and will continue in a calibrated manner, an official statement said today.
Conducted under the surveillance cover of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Quadcopters, the operations have so far resulted in recovery of 40 weapons (mostly automatic), mortars, ammunition & other warlike stores.
During the conduct of these operations, adequate measures were undertaken to ensure that the locals are not harassed and personal safety and security is maintained.
Following the directions during visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, security forces have once again appealed to all those in possession of snatched weapons to surrender the same at the earliest for ensuring peace and stability in Manipur. Security Forces also warned that failure to surrender these weapons will make all such people liable for strict legal action.
With this recovery, close to 800 snatched arms and ammo have been recovered so far. According to official sources, 4000 weapons and around 5 lakh rounds of ammunition were looted during the violence of last month.
