Manipur Police Walk 3 Hours to Destroy Poppy Farms, Confront Armed Miscreants

A Manipur Police team attempting to destroy illegal opium farms in Kangpokpi district was forced to withdraw after being confronted by "80-90 armed miscreants," according to a first information report (FIR). The police contingent, comprising 25 personnel and local volunteers, was ill-equipped for the task, carrying only three assault rifles, which hampered their ability to efficiently clear the farms. The team, having trekked for three hours, turned back due to the threat posed by the armed group, which reportedly brandished guns and knives. The FIR highlighted concerns over the remote location, where reinforcements would take too long to arrive, prioritizing the safety of the officers. Meanwhile, the Kuki National Front insurgent group operates in the area, which has seen rising tensions amid allegations of illegal opium cultivation linked to Kuki insurgents. Manipur's Chief Minister has indicated that operations to destroy these farms will soon be intensified. sources
