Police sources revealed that the operation began in April, after intelligence suggested DHD(U) planned to revive an underground separatist movement in the hill districts.
Officials said that the group, largely composed of Dimasa tribal youths, had started recruiting and stockpiling weapons.
By intercepting these plans early, authorities averted a potentially dangerous resurgence of militancy.
