State police and army recovered several arms from L Phaikot area in Kangpokpi district today.
The recovered arms included one modified INSAS Rifle with a magazine, one .303 Rifle with a magazine, and one Self-Loading Rifle (SLR) .
The operation was conducted in the jungles of L Phaikot, Kangpokpi, acting on intelligence inputs.
The operation resulted in the recovery of the hidden weapons cache, said the Army.
These weapons, if left undiscovered, could have been used by miscreants and insurgents to fuel unrest in the ethnic violence-affected region, it added.
"Such operations are critical steps in preventing the proliferation of illegal arms and ensuring that anti-National elements do not exploit the volatile situation," said the Army.
