Security forces in Manipur have dismantled camps of two banned militant organizations during search operations in the Imphal East district, police reported on Thursday.

A significant breakthrough occurred on Wednesday when a hideout belonging to the proscribed Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) in Makou Pourabi was raided. Authorities seized an air gun, a mobile handset, and a bulletproof helmet.

The same day, another training camp of the outlawed PREPAK group at Makou Pourabi was demolished, with security forces recovering an INSAS LMG magazine, a bayonet, five wooden dummy guns, two walkie-talkie sets, and cartridges. In a parallel crackdown, nine cadres of the banned Kangleipak Communist Party (Peoples' War Group) were arrested over the past two days for participating in extortion activities.
