The search
operation launched during early morning hours, resulted in apprehension of one
individual and recovery of huge quantity of arms and ammunition comprising of
11 Mortar tubes (81mm), 04 Tubes (106mm) 10 Pistols, 198 Hand Held Radio Sets,
one satellite phone, one Kenbo bike, one Bolero vehicle and other war-like
stores.
Recovery of these heavy calibre,
military grade weapons close to the border area is a major success for the
border sealing operation underway by Assam Rifles. The recovery is also a major blow to
the nefarious designs of inimical elements trying to disturb the peace in the
region. The recovery of military grade weapons and nearly 200, Hand Held Radio
Sets indicate the ill intentions and extent of damage that could have been
caused by these weapons.
The
apprehended individual and the recovered items have been handed over to the
Nagaland Police. Alert troops of Assam Rifles have successfully thwarted the
plans of unlawful elements from creating a serious security situation from the
perspective of national security.
