State, central forces working in coordination to bring peace in Manipur: DGP
More than 180 people have lost their lives since ethnic violence broke out in the state on May 3 last year.
IMPHAL: Manipur DGP Rajiv Singh on Friday said the state and central forces are working in coordination to bring tranquillity and peace in the northeastern state.
He also said the state and central forces have coordination committees at the state and district levels to normalise the situation in the violence-hit state.
“We (State and central forces) are always in constant touch. We have coordination committees at the state headquarters and district levels and have several video conferences,” the DGP said on the sidelines of a Republic Day programme.
“For me, all forces are equal. We are working together with state and central forces in coordination and trying to bring a normal situation as soon as possible” Singh said.
On the ongoing probe into the killing of the SDPO Moreh, Singh said “Investigation is going on and some people have been arrested. I would not be able to divulge details here. Let the police work.”
Moreh SDPO Chingtham Anand was shot dead by suspected militants in Tengnoupal district in October last year.
