How secure is the supply route to Manipur’s hill districts

What measures have been taken by the Assam Rifles to secure the supply route to Manipur’s hill districts?
The supply route to Manipur's hill districts is a crucial lifeline for the region's residents, as it provides essential goods and services. However, the route is vulnerable to various threats, such as insurgent attacks, extortion, and natural disasters. To ensure the secure transportation of supplies, the Assam Rifles has taken several measures, including:
  • Regular patrolling to monitor the route and prevent insurgent attacks
  • Setting up of checkpoints and barricades
  • Coordinating with the local police and administration for intelligence gathering and security measures
  • Use of drones and other technologies for surveillance
  • Providing security escorts to vulnerable vehicles
  • Carrying out periodic safety drills and training for drivers and other personnel
Despite these efforts, the supply route remains vulnerable, and the security forces face many challenges in ensuring its safety. These challenges include difficult terrain, high-altitude regions, and limited resources. However, the Assam Rifles continues to work towards improving the security situation along the route for the benefit of Manipur's hill districts.
