Manipur tightens grip on UG menace
To suppress the activities of various underground organisations operating in the State, the government of Manipur has decided to offer a cash reward to anyone who can provide information on the leaders of these outlawed organisations.
WAKING UP to the menace of insurgency in the State, the government of Manipur has decided to reward anyone who can provide information on the leaders and other chief functionaries of various proscribed outfits operating in this North Eastern State. The latest move of the State government has come in the backdrop of reported instructions from the Union ministry of home affairs to crackdown on all militant outfits operating in the State. In this regard, a meeting of the State cabinet on July 31 concluded with the decision to set up a committee under the chairmanship of the State’s DGP Y Joykumar to fix the amount of the monetary regard to be given to the informer(s).
According to sources, the proposal to reward any person who can provide information on the leaders and other chief functionaries of various underground organisations operating in the State has been proposed from the side of the Police department with an eye to dealing with increasing activities like extortion and threat to public life and properties. It is said that the Police department submitted a report to the government in connection with its investigation into social organisations and student bodies which have an alleged nexus with underground outfits.
Chief Minister Ibobi Singh had recently announced on the floor of the State Assembly that there are more than 30 militant groups in Manipur - United National Liberation Front (UNLF), People’s Liberation Army (PLA), Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK), United People’s Party of Kangleipak (UPPK), Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), Kangleipak Communist Party-( Military Council (KCP-MC) and People’s United Liberation Front (PULF) are among the major valley based underground organisations, while the hill-based organisations include NSCN (IM), NSCN (K), Kuki National Organisation (KNO), an umbrella Organisation of 11 groups; United People’s Front (UPF), another umbrella organisation of 8 groups, Naga National Council (NCC) and Manipur Naga Revolutionary Front (MNRF).
To contain the activities of militants, the government of Manipur had also earlier decided to recruit more police personnel and to equip them with the required armoury.
