Manipur Violence: Only 30% Looted Weapons Recovered, Forces to Start Massive Combing Ops

News 18  

Security forces in strife-torn Manipur have planned a massive combing operation across districts to recover weapons and ammunition missing since riots broke out in the state. The Manipur government has said security forces will undertake a “strong and comprehensive search operation” all over the state after 15 days to recover weapons and those associated with any illegal weapons will be dealt with severely as per the law. Looted weapons remain a worry for the Union as well as state government as officials do not rule out the possibility of these weapons and ammunition making their way to other states. A top official said when forces initially tried to recover the looted weapons, supporters of the miscreants gathered in huge numbers to shield them from action.
