2 CRPF personnel killed in Manipur’s Naransena in an attack by militants
Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel lost their lives in an attack by Kuki militants starting from Friday midnight at the Naransena area in Manipur, police said.
CRPF and the Bihar police achieved a huge success against the Maoist in Bihar’s Aurangabad district on Friday. They have seized a huge cache of 162 Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and other equipment in the Laduiya Pahad area during a joint operation.
According to an official statement, initially, 13 IEDs were detected in the Maoist dominated areas in Laduiya Pahad in Aurangabad. During the course of the search operation, the troops reached a cave and recovered 149 IEDs weighing about a kilogram each. The CRPF destroyed the IEDs in a controlled explosion while following all precautions.
“With the intensive operations conducted by CRPF and Bihar Police against the outlawed Maoists, the State is inching towards normalcy. The operations are continuing in the areas which were earlier considered to be strongholds of Maoists, with the objective of demining the IEDs planted by the Maoists and recovering arms and ammunition that they must have left hidden while fleeing in haste,” reads the statements.
