Manipur CM Flags Off 477 New Police Vehicles To Boost Security

In a significant move to restore peace and order, the Manipur government has officially flagged off 477 new vehicles for the state police force. The event, held at the 1st MR Parade Ground, marks a major milestone in the state’s efforts to modernize its security apparatus and improve the mobility of personnel on the ground.

The Chief Minister emphasized that a strong police force is essential for maintaining peace in the region, which has faced challenging times due to ethnic violence over the past year. By providing these new resources, the government aims to enhance the operational capacity of law enforcement, making them more effective in responding to incidents and delivering public services across the state.

During the ceremony, the Chief Minister paid tribute to the police personnel and other security agencies, including the Army and CRPF, who have worked tirelessly to control the situation. He acknowledged the sacrifices made by those on the front lines and urged the public to refrain from violent agitations. Highlighting a recent incident in Bishnupur district, he appealed to citizens to pursue peaceful rallies and dialogue instead of targeting security forces.

The modernization effort isn't just about vehicles on the road; it also extends to the digital space. Recent reports indicate that the state has been vigilantly monitoring communal content online. Out of over 5,400 communal posts identified since the violence erupted, authorities have successfully taken down 3,200 to prevent further tension. This dual approach of physical presence and digital monitoring reflects the government's commitment to bringing lasting stability to Manipur.
