Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said the Jairampur battalion, under the aegis of Dao Division, conducted a successful operation at Miao town in Changlang district and apprehended five ENNG militants including Self Styled Major Thaimong Mossang and Awang Hodung.

“Acting on a specific intelligence input about militants trying to terrorize and carryout recruitment activities in Miao town, the Jairampur Battalion swiftly launched an operation and cordoned the suspected location. On being challenged the cadres tried to flee but the troops showed tremendous presence of mind and daring and chased down the militants and overpowered them,” Colonel Konwer said.
