Imphal, Jan 24: Heavy security has been deployed in and around Kangla Fort in Imphal after a local group called all the ministers and MLAs to attend a meeting on Wednesday to clear their position about the unabated violence in Manipur.
The local organizations called the meeting after the militants, in their stepped-up attacks in the last couple of days, killed many people, including two Manipur Police commandos, four villagers, and a village defense volunteer.
A three-member Central team led by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Advisor A.K. Mishra arrived in Manipur on Monday evening and held meetings with government officials, leaders of various organizations, and elected representatives.
The team reportedly met leading local organization ‘Arambai Tenggol’ leaders at the residence of Rajya Sabha MP Maharaja Sanajaoba Leishemba.
BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh, who is the son-in-law of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, said in his post on the X on Tuesday: “The state government decided to reinforce more state forces in the foothills and other vulnerable areas.
“These are being done through input from the people of the areas and their respective legislators. We have recently witnessed civilians getting killed despite the presence of certain paramilitary forces. Legislators have also moved the Central Government to replace such forces.”
Meanwhile, 34 MLAs, mostly of the ruling BJP, along with seven Naga legislators, have urged the central government to abrogate the suspension of operations (SOO) with the armed militant outfits; otherwise, the legislators would take “appropriate action” in consultation with the people.
