Manipur CM chairs security meeting, reviews law and order

CorrespondentImphal, Apr 9:

Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Thursday chaired a high-level security meeting at the Cabinet Hall of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat to review the law-and-order situation in the state following the recent Tronglaobi incident.
The meeting was attended by Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam, the Chief Secretary, Commissioner (Home), DGP, ADGPs, IGPs, DIGs, and SPs of all districts. Some district SPs joined virtually. The Chief Minister directed officials to closely monitor developments and take all necessary measures to restore peace and stability.
This meeting came a day after Singh chaired the Combined Headquarters (Unified Command) security meeting, which included senior officers from the Army, Assam Rifles, BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and other central security forces and intelligence agencies.
Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister posted on social media that the state government was in continuous coordination with Union Home Minister Amit Shah to tackle the situation effectively. He assured that those responsible for the attack would be identified and dealt with strictly under the law.
Singh also met representatives of several civil society organizations (CSOs), including AMUCO, MSF, Poirei Leimarol, COHR, and AMAWOVA, along with Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam and ruling party MLAs. The discussions were described as constructive, with the government acknowledging the concerns raised.
In his post, Singh termed the Tronglaobi incident “deeply unfortunate” and said it had disrupted ongoing peace-building efforts. He reiterated the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order, restoring normalcy, and ensuring the safety of all citizens.
“We seek the continued cooperation and support of all civil society organisations and citizens in this collective journey towards a peaceful and secure Manipur,” the Chief Minister wrote.
