Assam Rifles recover arms, ammunition along Indo- Myanmar border in Nagaland

New Delhi, April 29 ,2024 : Acting upon specific intelligence inputs, the Assam Rifles on Monday
recovered a huge quantity of arms, ammunition, and other war-like stores close to the Indo- Myanmar Border in the Mon district of Nagaland.
The search operation was carried out early in the morning, and along with the recovery of a huge
quantity of arms and ammunition, the Assam Rifles also apprehended one person, an official
statement said.
The ammunition consists of 11 Mortar tubes (81mm), 04 tubes (106 mm), 10 pistols, 198 handheld radio sets, one satellite phone, one Kenbo bike, one Bolero vehicle, and other war-like
stores.
Recovery of these heavy-caliber, 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 indicates the ill intentions and extent of damage that could have been caused by these
weapons.
The arrested person and the recovered items have been handed over to the Nagaland Police. The
alert troops of the Assam Rifles have successfully thwarted the plans of unlawful elements from
creating a serious security situation from the perspective of national security
