Breaking: Security Forces Uncover Alarming Weapon Cache in Serene Namdapha National Park
In a meticulously coordinated operation, security forces, including Spear Corps and Arunachal Pradesh Police, successfully retrieved a significant cache of weapons from Namdapha National Park in the Changlang District of Arunachal Pradesh. This operation, a collaboration between the Assam Rifles, the Army, and the Changlang District Police, spanned 27 miles along the Miao-Vijaynagar axis. Specialized teams, equipped with advanced technology like high-tech drones, tracker dogs, and metal detectors, conducted extensive searches leading to this major recovery.
The operation uncovered ten MQ 81 and Type 81 Chinese-origin assault rifles from the dense forest region, making it one of the largest recoveries in South Arunachal in recent times. These weapons had eluded multiple insurgent groups in the area, who had been actively searching for them over the past six months. Allegedly, these arms were concealed by the ENNG group before their surrender last year.
The operation was executed with precision, prioritizing the safety of tourists involved in birdwatching within Namdapha National Park. This strategic move prevented the arms from falling into insurgent hands, particularly those aligned with groups such as the NSCN (IM) and NSCN (KYA), who, alongside ENNG cadres, were believed to be attempting to recover this cache.
This significant achievement reflects the continuous commitment of security forces to ensuring peace and stability in the region. By utilizing reliable intelligence and their expertise, the forces effectively thwarted potential threats and safeguarded the area from insurgent influence. The successful operation not only highlights the proficiency of the security personnel involved but also strengthens regional security, delivering a clear message against insurgency activities in Arunachal Pradesh.
