According to the Manipur Police, the explosives were discovered following intelligence inputs regarding suspicious activity in the area. A bomb disposal squad was immediately deployed to assess and neutralise the devices. The entire operation was conducted under strict safety protocols to avoid casualties.

“The team worked meticulously to dismantle all the IEDs,” a senior police official said. “This operation highlights the constant vigilance of our security forces in maintaining peace and protecting citizens.”

Local authorities confirmed that the explosives were scattered across multiple locations in Imphal East, and the operation involved close coordination between the police, army, and local security units. No injuries were reported during the neutralisation process.

Officials suspect that insurgent groups were behind the placement of these bombs, targeting key routes in the district. Security agencies are now investigating the source of the explosives and tracking down those responsible.

Residents expressed relief at the swift action of the security forces. “We are thankful to the police and army for preventing a disaster. Their quick response has kept our villages safe,” said a local villager.

Manipur has faced sporadic insurgency-related incidents in recent years. Operations like these demonstrate the state’s continued focus on neutralising threats and ensuring civilian safety. Authorities have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities and assured them that security measures across the region will remain heightened.

Police identified them as members of the banned People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The militants played a major role in the attack on the 33 Assam Rifles at Nambol Sabal Leikai in Bishnupur district. The attack left two soldiers dead and several others injured.

One militant was arrested in Guwahati, Assam, while police withheld the location of the other arrest. “We will interrogate both suspects to uncover the full scope of the attack and dismantle the network behind it,” said a senior police officer.

The September 19 ambush triggered major security concerns in Manipur. Following the incident, security forces intensified operations, targeting insurgent hideouts and strengthening convoy protection measures.

Officials described the arrests as a major breakthrough in the investigation. “These arrests reflect our strong commitment to safeguarding the region and countering insurgency threats,” said the officer.

The PLA has a history of violence in the northeast, targeting security forces and infrastructure. Authorities warned of stricter actions against militants and urged the public to cooperate in maintaining peace.
