Manipur BJP MLA Demands Action on Security Lapses

Amidst the aftermath of the recent ambush on Manipur CM N. Biren Singh’s convoy and the surge of violence in Jiribam district, BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh has called for an inquiry into security breaches. He demands accountability from police officers who received prior intelligence reports regarding the situation in Jiribam, advocating for their suspension pending inquiry and subsequent strict action as per legal procedures.

Singh emphasizes the officers’ responsibility for the loss of lives and property, urging their accountability for the ambush on the state police team accompanying the Chief Minister’s convoy. The Chief Minister’s Office had earlier instructed the police department to submit an action-taken report on security measures following intelligence reports of armed militants’ movements in the region. This call for accountability underscores the gravity of security lapses and the need for swift corrective action.
