Two days after intense firing and explosions in Manipur’s Kamjong district near the India-Myanmar border, the Assam Rifles successfully rescued Olina Ningshen, who was abducted during the violence. The rescue operation, led by the Assam Rifles, took place south of Z Choro village under tight security supervision. The abducted woman was safely released after coordinated efforts by the security agencies.
The rescued woman’s husband, the village headman, and members of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) were escorted to Humine Thana, near Phaikoh, for the handover process. Following the rescue, they were taken to the local Assam Rifles headquarters for formal procedures. The family, village headman, and CSO representatives, visibly relieved, returned safely to their village, Khangpat Khn.
Lieutenant Colonel Rawat highlighted the meticulous coordination of the entire rescue operation by the Assam Rifles, which included medical examinations and psychological support for the rescued woman. The Assam Rifles, known as the country’s oldest paramilitary force with a prestigious history, swiftly responded to the unrest and violence near Z Choro and Namlee village along the border. Despite challenging conditions, the troops managed to bring the situation under control and ensure the safety of affected villagers.
