Assam Rifles recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition during an operation along the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur’s Chandel district.
The recovery included three Pompi weapons, six single-barrel rifles, three carbines, two Lathod guns, two grenades, two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and a quantity of ammunition.
In a separate initiative, the Assam Rifles extended livelihood support to the Senjenpokpi United Welfare Club at Irengbam in Kakching district under its Civic Action Programme.
The force provided 22 sewing machines worth ₹2 lakh to the club in response to a requirement raised by its members. The initiative is aimed at promoting tailoring as a livelihood skill, enabling income generation, self-reliance and economic empowerment among members of the local community.
