Guwahati: Five people from Myanmar were arrested by Manipur police, including a woman, for residing there without authorization.
Based on specific information, the Myanmar nationals were captured in Ngathal Village in the Churachandpur district.
Chief Minister N Biren Singh said that the CCP PS team began a search operation after learning with certainty that the Myanmar nationals were present.
