"continued synergised resolve of the security forces to deny any attempts at re-establishment of hostile firing positions - Official Release"

Imphal, April 16

In continuation of ongoing operations astride national highway-202, the security forces led by Red Shield Division launched coordinated Joint Area Domination Patrols again in the general areas of Jalenbung hills and Thoyee Heights, aimed at maintaining security and preventing re-establishment of hostile infrastructure.

The operation commenced with two joint columns comprising teams from the Indian Army, CAPF and Manipur Police carrying out the operation on both sides of the highway, respectively, an official release said.

In the Jalenbung Hills, a systematic sweep resulted in the identification and subsequent destruction of multiple bunkers that had previously been dismantled but were found to be re-established. A total of five such bunkers were destroyed in the area.

Simultaneously, in Thoyee Heights, a series of bunkers along the Mahadev Hills and Thoyee Heights were identified. Five repaired bunkers that had earlier been dismantled were destroyed again.

Overall, a total of ten bunkers were destroyed during the coordinated operation.

The operation underscores the continued synergised resolve of the security forces to deny any attempts at re-establishment of hostile firing positions, while ensuring peace and stability in the region through sustained and coordinated efforts.

While I appreciate the security forces' hard work, this news is also sad. Destruction, re-establishment, destruction again. When will there be lasting peace in Manipur? My heart goes out to the common people caught in this cycle. We need a political solution alongside military action.

Good job by Red Shield Division. Highway security is crucial for the entire region's economy and connectivity. Denying hostile positions along NH-202 is a strategic necessity. Hope the state government also focuses on development projects to win the trust of the youth there.

Reading this from outside India, the coordination between different forces is impressive. But it highlights a prolonged instability. The report says these were previously dismantled bunkers. Isn't there a need for permanent surveillance or a local community-led watch to prevent re-establishment?

Jai Hind! Our forces are doing a tough job in difficult terrain. Each bunker destroyed makes our borders and highways safer. We often forget the daily risks they take. Proud of them. The mention of 'synergised resolve' in the release is key – unity in action is strength.

This is a necessary operation, no doubt. But as a citizen, I have a respectful criticism. The news cycle is: bunkers found, destroyed, then found again. Are we addressing the root cause? Where is the material coming from? Who is funding this? That investigation needs equal spotlight.
