Digital Desk: In a major breakthrough, Manipur Police, in collaboration with central armed forces personnel, executed a joint operation resulting in the seizure of multiple weapons, ammunition, drugs, and cash from the Myanmar-based militant group CKLA, chief minister N. Biren Singh said on Monday.
Taking to his official handle on the social media platform X, chief minister Biren Singh stated, "The seized weapons include AK47, Insas, Sniper, and M16 rifles, along with (a) huge cache of ammunition. Further, opium weighing about 2.5 kg, ₹4,86,500 cash and various other items were also recovered."
CM Singh went on to reveal that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had earlier taken up cases related to what seemed to be a "transnational conspiracy" by terrorist organizations in neighboring Myanmar and Bangladesh. These groups allegedly aimed to wage war against the Indian government by exploiting the unrest in Manipur.
"Today's apprehension of CKLA cadres and the recovery of weapons have yet again underscored a transnational plot aimed at destabilizing both Manipur and our nation," the CM added in his post.
This operation serves as a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to combat insurgency and terrorism in the region. The seized weapons and the dismantling of the CKLA group represent a substantial blow to those who seek to undermine the stability of Manipur and India as a whole.
