Manipur to set up more police outposts

The Manipur government will strengthen security along its around 390-km international border to check crimes and set up more police outposts, state chief minister N Biren Singh said. The state government also plans to curb the illegal peddling of drugs, rare wildlife and various contraband products.

Inaugurating the Sangaithel police outpost in Imphal West district, the CM said more outposts would be set up along the India-Myanmar border to check illegal immigration, smuggling activities, and cross border crime.

"The BJP government has achieved peace and stability in Manipur under the dynamic leadership of PM Narendra Modi," Singh said.


Five districts in Manipur share an unfenced and porous border with Myanmar. The Manipur government is advocating that the free movement regime with Myanmar needs to be reviewed.

Manipur is facing an influx from Myanmar following the military Junta taking over power there.
