Assam Rifles Personnel Withdrawn From Checkpoint In Manipur's Bishnupur, Replaced By CRPF

Personnel of Assam Rifles have been withdrawn from a checkpoint in Manipur's Bishnupur and CRPF and state police have replaced them.

Assam Rifles personnel have been withdrawn from the Moirang Lamkhai checkpoint in Manipur's Bishnupur, where fresh violence erupted last week, reported PTI citing a notification issued by the Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order). As per the notification, Assam Rifles have been replaced by CRPF and the state police. This comes at a time when several groups of women in valley districts launched an agitation on Monday, seeking the removal of the paramilitary force from the ethnic strife-torn state, PTI mentioned in the report.

According to PTI, ADGP (Law and Order) L Kailun on Monday said, "The checkpoint at Moirang Lamkhai on the Bishnupur to Kangvai Road shall be manned by the civil police and 128 Bn CRPF in place of 9 AR with immediate effect and until further orders".

Earlier, women groups blocked a road at Hodam Leirak and Kwakeithel in Imphal West district and Angom Leikai and Khurai areas in Imphal East on Monday. On the other hand, the administrations in Imphal East and West districts have increased the curfew relaxation by two hours on Tuesday. 

The curbs were relaxed in Imphal East and Imphal West from 5 am to 2 pm, officials said, as quoted by PTI. For Thoubal district, it has been relaxed from 5 am to 4 pm and for Kakching, it would be from 5 am to 5 pm, the report added.

Over 160 people lost their lives and many were injured since the ethnic clashes broke out in Manipur on May 3. The clashes broke out after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. According to PTI, Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur’s population.
