Described as extensive and methodical, the operations aim to neutralize the armed threats in the region. The Manipur Police Control Room said security forces are focused on eliminating the threats posed by armed groups and will continue their efforts until full security is restored.
The operations come in the wake of an indiscriminate firing incident on December 27, which left several civilians and security personnel injured. Chief Minister N Biren Singh strongly condemned the attacks, calling them “unprovoked” and “cowardly.” He reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to maintaining law and order and emphasized the crucial role of cooperation between state and central forces in ensuring peace.
In a related incident, a local journalist was injured while covering the clashes on December 28. Authorities have confirmed that the journalist is receiving medical treatment and is in stable condition.
The ongoing joint operations reflect a coordinated effort to address the region’s complex security challenges. Officials have assured the public that the operations will continue until the area is deemed safe for residents. They have also urged the public to cooperate with security forces during this critical time.
The situation remains tense as security forces work to neutralize threats and prevent further escalation.
