Overview
- Forty-six members of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP)‑Taibangngaba, including four women, surrendered 20 weapons, 216 rounds of ammunition and three explosives at a government homecoming ceremony in Imphal.
- The Manipur government offered each returnee four fixed deposits and a monthly stipend of ₹6,000 for 36 months as part of a formal rehabilitation package.
- Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh and senior security and civil officials attended the ceremony and urged the cadres to rejoin families and abandon armed activity.
- Officials framed the event as a step in a wider process that pairs incentives with security assurances, while law enforcement retains responsibility for public safety and rule‑of‑law enforcement.
- The surrender continues a pattern of periodic handovers used to reduce armed activity in Manipur and will require community reconciliation, job support and monitoring to secure lasting stability.
