Security Forces and Manipur Police have ramped up their operations throughout the state, successfully arresting several insurgent cadres and a drug dealer in Imphal East and Thoubal districts. This intensified effort also aims to ensure the safe transportation of essential goods along National Highway 37.
On Friday, a collaborative team from the Security Forces detained a member of the banned organization PREPAK, identified as Phanjoubam Thajamanbi Devi, a 22-year-old from Andro Kharam Leikai. She was apprehended at her home in the Imphal East district, where authorities seized three mobile phones and an Aadhaar card from her.
That same day, Manipur Police arrested 48-year-old Konthoujam Rajen Singh from Huikap Makha Leikai, confiscating approximately 6 kg of illegal ganja.
In a separate operation on November 6, Security Forces apprehended two additional active members of the RPF/PLA across various locations in Imphal East. One suspect, Laishram Kishan Singh, 31, was arrested at Khurai Lamlong Bazar, while the second, Selheibam Joysana Meitei, 48, who notably described himself as a Major within the outfit, was caught in Porompat.
Recovered items from these arrests included a .38 caliber pistol with three live rounds, two vehicles, two mobile phones with SIM cards, two wallets, and cash totaling ₹60,300. Authorities reported that these individuals were involved in numerous extortion schemes targeting local schools, brick farms, hospitals, and pharmacies in the Imphal East area.
Security Forces remain vigilant, conducting intensive search operations and area patrols in sensitive and at-risk districts. To bolster security, a total of 114 checkpoints have been established throughout both hilly and valley regions, with no additional detentions reported at this time. Furthermore, the safe transit of 270 vehicles carrying crucial goods along NH-37 has been ensured under strict security arrangements, allowing for safe passage through vulnerable areas. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to conducting coordinated operations aimed at maintaining peace and curbing insurgency and criminal activities across Manipur.
