Imphal: In a decisive effort to combat illegal activities, the Assam Rifles, in collaboration with the villagers of Saibol Joupi, TM Dingpi, and T Bollon, successfully cleared approximately 2 square kilometers of poppy cultivation.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote community health and societal well-being, said Assam Rifles on Sunday.
The operation follows extensive awareness programs conducted by the Assam Rifles, aimed at educating local communities about the detrimental effects of poppy cultivation. These initiatives inspired villagers to take a proactive stance against illegal farming, demonstrating their commitment to fostering a safer and healthier environment, it added.
“This collaboration exemplifies the united resolve of both security forces and local communities in addressing the challenges posed by illegal cultivation,” stated an Assam Rifles spokesperson.
The operation not only disrupted the supply chain associated with illicit activities but also paved the way for a more peaceful and progressive future for the region, the Assam Rifles said.
The Assam Rifles expressed appreciation for the active involvement of the villagers, highlighting the growing cooperation between communities and security forces in ensuring development and stability in Northeast India.
