The operation, conducted on March 15, 2024, in the general area of Trao Lamkhai, Tengnoupal District, led to the seizure of a considerable cache of weapons.

The haul included one .303 rifle, two improvised mortars, four improvised explosive devices (IEDs), fifteen grenades, along with a quantity of ammunition.

This successful operation is part of ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the region, which has been troubled by insurgent activities. The recovery of such arms and ammunition is a significant blow to the efforts of those looking to disrupt peace and stability in Manipur.
