Indian Army along with Assam Rifles have significantly re-engineered the security architecture & numerous resources have been infused in Manipur especially at the backdrop of prevailing security situation in which normalcy has now commenced to show visible manifestation & people are now returning to their homes & reunification of stranded people with their loved ones has commenced. In particular, Indian Army is leaving no stones unturned to undertake surveillance of areas not only in hinterland but also along the Indo-Myanmar Border.
Round the clock surveillance through Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with specific tasking, employment of MI 17 & Cheetah helicopters of Air Force & Army & numerous foot patrols & flag marches to restore confidence of locals on ground are being resorted to. Total of 128 Army & Assam Rifles columns, unmanned aerial vehicles & other aerial surveillance assets in adequate numbers to undertake 24×7 surveillance has been pressed into action.
As Manipur slowly rises up to the peace & tranquil atmosphere amongst all communities hitherto fore, inimical elements may once again attempt to spread malicious unverified content. Indian Army & Assam Rifles remain committed to restoring complete normalcy at the earliest & would request all to disregard any malicious attempt to disturb harmony in the region through manipulated interpretation/ misrepresentation of facts.
