Manipur Violence: Only 30% Looted Weapons Recovered, Massive Combing Ops Set To Begin
In response to the recent riots in Manipur , security forces are gearing up for an extensive combing operation across the state to recover missing weapons and ammunition.
The government has declared its intent to conduct a thorough search operation to retrieve these arms and has warned of severe consequences for those involved in illegal weapons possession.
The Looming Threat
The disappearance of weapons poses a significant concern for both the Union and state governments, as there is a potential risk of these arms finding their way into neighbouring states. Despite repeated calls by authorities, only a fraction of the missing weapons—1,350 to be exact—have been recovered, leaving a substantial cache of ammunition unaccounted for.
Diminishing Hope for Recovery
Recent days have seen minimal progress in the recovery of weapons looted or stolen from Manipur's police stations. Even designated areas for surreptitious weapon returns have yielded no results. This lack of cooperation necessitates large-scale operations.
Strategic Approach
Security forces are taking a meticulous approach to this operation. Intelligence assets have been activated to identify the most critical areas for action. The operation will proceed district by district, ensuring a methodical approach that minimises confusion. Local police will play a pivotal role, helping identify routes and engaging with the community to prevent clashes.
