While the training is a positive step, I hope data privacy safeguards are also part of the discussion. Aadhar cards were seized in the arrest mentioned—shows how centralised data is already in play. We need robust systems, but also need to protect citizen rights.

Direct involvement of MHA shows the importance of the NE region for national security. Catching those KCP members and then this training—seems like a coordinated push. Strong intelligence is the best weapon against insurgency. Jai Hind.

Training 150 officers is a good number. The use of video conferencing shows adaptation to modern needs. Hope the local police feel empowered by this tech and it helps improve the situation for the common people of Manipur.

Interesting read. As an outsider, it's impressive to see India integrating advanced data grids for security. The scale is massive. The arrest detail about the Aadhar cards highlights how digital ID is woven into law enforcement here.

The report says the law-and-order situation is "normal". That's the most important thing for residents. These technical trainings and arrests should aim to keep it that way. Peace and development go hand in hand.
