Seven BJP MLAs also met the Manipur Governor and urged him to ensure the recovery of the looted and illegally held arms must be further intensified in hill areas of the state.
BJP legislator Kh Ibomcha, said they also requested the Governor to accelerate the peace talks between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo-Hmar tribal communities.
The MLAs urged Bhalla to take stern actions against those who are involved in provocative acts and making offensive comments against various communities.
Till March 6, around 1,000 looted and illegally held weapons, including many sophisticated arms, and a huge cache of ammunition, have been returned to the security forces since Governor Bhalla made the appeal for the first time on February 20.
Assam Rifles launched an operation in the Kampang Khullen area in Tengnoupal district intercepting 23 trucks illegally transporting timber without valid transit permits.
A Defence spokesman said that the operation aimed to curb illegal smuggling of forest produce, a major funding source for Valley Based Insurgent Groups (VBIGs).
Drivers were detained after failing to produce valid documentation, and the trucks along with the timber were seized.
