Kanth told PTI that some areas in forests often visited by insurgents have been identified and neutralised. He did not give the exact number of militants nabbed so far.
He said the operations by the army, paramilitary forces and police forces of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh were on mainly in lower Dibang valley and parts of Lohit and Changlang districts.
Arunachal Pradesh police has provided extra enforcements for the operations at the request of the army.
The operations were launched following the massacre of 70 migrant workers in Assam.
