Four militants arrested in Manipur
In Manipur, police arrested four militants from different places in the Imphal Valley.
They found guns and bombs with them.
The militants are part of banned groups.
On another day, police also found big rockets and guns in a village.
This all happened because the police are trying to stop these groups from causing trouble.
Four militants were arrested in Manipur's Imphal Valley districts on Monday.
Arrests included members of the banned Peoples’ Liberation Army and Kangleipak Communist Party (Taibanganba).
A 9 mm pistol with four live rounds was seized from one militant in Imphal East.
A large cache of arms, including various guns, IEDs, and a Chinese hand grenade, was seized in Imphal East.
Security forces previously recovered two rockets and three country-made guns from Churachandpur district.
