Manipur’s Tengnoupal district, security forces have arrested three illegal Myanmar nationals
NEW DELHI: In a significant development at the Moreh border town in Manipur’s Tengnoupal district, security forces have arrested three illegal Myanmar nationals on Sunday.

The trio of detainees was found in possession of furniture and electrical items reportedly stolen from these houses.
According to a police report, a team of Manipur Police Special Commandos, conducting a foot patrol in the border town, apprehended the three individuals around 9 am.
