Imphal: A joint operation by central security forces in Manipur’s Bishunpur district resulted in the dismantling of an insurgent hideout situated on the floating biomasses of Loktak Lake. The operation, conducted on Tuesday, yielded a significant recovery of arms, ammunition, explosives, and other war-related materials.
Acting on credible intelligence, security forces launched an extensive search operation in the Nachou Patangkhong area, located between Nachou Patton and Ningthoukhong Patton Mamang under the jurisdiction of Bishnupur Police Station. The area’s suspected floating huts were cordoned off to preempt any untoward activities.

This structure was suspected to be a camp hideout used by the banned Kangleipak Communist Party – People’s War Group (KCP-PWG).
