DIG CRPF Manish Kumar Sachar visited relief camps and assured residents of their safety. Nearly 100 families are living in Kangpokpi district camps, yearning to return to normalcy. Security forces are deployed to maintain peace and prevent unauthorized entry. Significant arms recovery operations have also been conducted.

DIG Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Manish Kumar Sachar visited Thangkanphai village in Kangpokpi district of Manipur and the Songpehjang relief camp in Saikul Hilltown, engaging with representatives of the Kuki community. Speaking to ANI, DIG Sachar noted that over 100 families reside in the relief camp, yearning to return to their normal lives.

'This is a relief camp in Kangpokpi district where around 100 families are living. They are living peacefully. But our objective is that all these families return to their homes as soon as possible and restart their lives. We are identifying their farms and taking them there. They are all living peacefully. They don't have any demand except getting back to their normal life. They want that there should not be any attack on them or any life threat to them,' he said. Earlier on September 11, DIG Sachar mentioned that the situation was fully under control following recent violence in Manipur.

He explained that forces, including the CRPF, Assam Rifles, and Manipur police commandos, have been deployed at Gamgiphai, the interstate checkpost border of Kangpokpi district (a Kuki area) and West Imphal District (a Meitei area). This deployment aims to ensure no unauthorized entry of individuals or goods. 'The situation is fully under control. Small incidents are taking place on the outskirts, which are being effectively managed by our forces,' he added. Additionally, on September 12, the Indian Army along with Manipur Police, in collaboration with the CRPF and Border Security Force, conducted a joint operation recovering significant quantities of arms, ammunition, and warlike stores in the Churachandpur district.

Acting on specific information, the security forces recovered a 7.62mm AK Series Assault Rifle with a magazine, three medium-sized improvised mortars (Pompi), and other warlike stores in the Maulsang area of Churachandpur District. (ANI)
