Imphal, March 03 2024:
Assam Rifles on Sunday rebutted the claim of Kuki Inpi, Tengnoupal (KIT) which had dismissed reports about recovery of warlike stores from the vicinity of Elora Hotel, Moreh and cautioned KIT not to malign the image of Assam Rifles and Manipur police.
A release by PRO IGAR (South) stated that the search operation was carried out based on a specific intelligence input.
A joint column of AR and state police established a cordon in the area and subsequent search led to recovery of one .38 pistol, around 100 rounds of assorted ammunition and 10 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), the PRO informed.
While stating that the recovered items were handed over to Moreh police and an FIR registered for further inquiry, the PRO advised CSOs to cooperate with the security forces in the efforts to bring peace and harmony to the state.
Assam Rifles takes pride in carrying out ethical and people-friendly operations during the current ethnic conflict in Manipur and had always maintained a neutral and non-partisan approach in carrying out operations and serve the people of Manipur as a whole.
