SINGNGAT BATTALION under the aegis of CHURACHANDPUR SECTOR apprehended Five insurgents in an operation lasting more than 3 days. The insurgents belonging to UNLF, PREPAK (RA) and PREPAK group had run away from their camps in Myanmar and were illegally crossing the India – Myanmar Border when based on specific inputs gathered,   they were apprehended by columns of Singhat Battalion.

The individuals are in the age group of 19 to 35 years and have had basic training in their camps across. Poor living conditions, extremely low salaries and the constant danger looming over their head prompted them to escape from these camps.

Post questioning and ascertaining their identity the insurgents were handed over to the Police.

The apprehension of five hardcore insurgents without any collateral damage proves the highest levels of training of Assam Rifles and the security forces and speaks volumes about the bravery of our men in uniform. The apprehension has not only thrawted the nefarious intentions of these

Insurgent groups and proved and re-established the  writ of the government in the remote parts of the state bordering the Indo Myanmar Border  but  is also a sound indicator of transition  to normalcy and the same will  go a long way in maintaining peace and tranquility in Manipur and North East as a whole , which is the aim of Assam Rifles.
