Ukhrul, October 05 2024: After intensive search operations all over the place, Ukhrul police have recovered most of the arms looted by mobs a couple of days ago.

The weapons were looted from Ukhrul police station by mobs after a deadly clash broke out between villagers of Hunpung and Ukhrul/Hunphun over a land dispute on October 2 .

The looted weapons included two Carbines, six INSAS Rifles, eight 9mm Pistols, 3 AK Rifles, one SLR and ammunition.

The clash was triggered by a planned Swachhata Hi Seva campaign organised by the Thawaijao Hungpung Young Students' Organization (THYSO) at the disputed place called Thingrasa.
