The operation was conducted in the Papal Lamkhai area, leading to the apprehension of these individuals.
Background on PREPAK(Pro)
PREPAK(Pro) is a proscribed militant organization operating in Manipur, with a history of involvement in various insurgent activities, including extortion and armed confrontations with security forces. The group has been a significant focus of security operations in the region.
Recent Security Operations
This arrest is part of a series of successful operations by security forces in Manipur. In December 2024, Manipur police engaged in a gunfight with PREPAK cadres in Thoubal, resulting in the arrest of six members and the unfortunate death of one due to injuries sustained during the encounter.
Implications for Regional Security
The continuous efforts by security forces to apprehend members of insurgent groups like PREPAK(Pro) are crucial for maintaining peace and stability in Manipur. These operations aim to dismantle the operational capabilities of such groups and reduce their influence in the region.
The recent arrests underscore the commitment of security agencies to address insurgency-related challenges and ensure the safety of the residents of Manipur.
