Guwahati, July 29(IBNS): The security forces have recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition from NSCN (IM) militants in Manipur’s Kamjong district on Friday, officials said on Saturday.

According to the reports, 31 Assam Rifles of 10 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) seized three AK series rifles and 300 rounds from NSCN (IM) militants.

“On specific input a vehicle check post was established at Nampisha to check any illegal movement of the Naga militants with weapons. It is believed that these militants were involved in smuggling weapons and ammunition and are likely to have collected the same from a supplier from Myanmar,” an Assam Rifles official said.

The weapons and ammunition were planned to be smuggled to Ukhrul town.

Assam Rifles in recent times have been proactive and have not kept any stone unturned to maintain normalcy in the district of Kamjong and Ukhrul.
