Security forces carried out a coordinated operation in Manipur’s Ukhrul district on March 24, dismantling bunkers and recovering ammunition as part of efforts to restore stability in the region. The operation was conducted across multiple locations under Litan Police Station, including Lengiangching and Mongkat Chepu villages, which have recently witnessed tensions.
According to officials, the joint action targeted fortified bunkers set up by rival groups during earlier confrontations. These structures, which were used as strategic positions during clashes, were identified as a continuing risk to peace and were dismantled during simultaneous search operations. Authorities said the move was aimed at preventing their reuse and reducing the likelihood of further armed conflict.
Security personnel also recovered a significant number of spent cartridges from the sites, indicating the intensity of previous exchanges in the area. Officials noted that such recoveries help assess the scale of violence and guide further security measures to stabilise the situation.
Following the operation, authorities reported a noticeable decline in firing incidents, suggesting an improvement in the ground situation. Security forces have since increased patrolling and strengthened their presence in vulnerable pockets to maintain control and deter any resurgence of violence. Officials emphasised that sustained vigilance remains essential to ensuring long-term peace.
The operation forms part of ongoing efforts by the administration and security agencies to restore normalcy in violence-affected areas of Manipur. Ukhrul district, located in the state’s hill region, has remained sensitive due to periodic tensions and localised clashes. In such contexts, dismantling fortified positions is considered a critical step in breaking the cycle of conflict.
Authorities said the latest action is expected to improve safety for residents in the affected areas and help rebuild public confidence. With continued monitoring and proactive measures, the administration aims to ensure that the security situation remains stable and that normal life can gradually resume.
