New Delhi: More than 20 MLAs of Manipur, currently camping in Delhi, have urged the Centre to take action against those behind the kidnapping and killing of two youths in the restive state.
The legislators have also urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure that the CBI probe is expedited.
“Most Legislators present in Delhi have already asked central government to deliver justice at the earliest. Let us ensure justice is given in the next few days by arresting the culprits involved,” one of the MLAs Rajkumar Imo Singh wrote on X.
Centre transfers Srinagar SSP Rakesh Balwal to Manipur
Srinagar Senior Superintendent of Police Rakesh Balwal, who has expertise in handling terror-related cases, has been “prematurely” repatriated to Manipur cadre where a fresh bout of violence has worsened the already tense situation.
The 2012 batch IPS officer, who was shifted to Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre in December 2021, will be assigned a new posting in Manipur upon his joining in the state, which has been witnessing clashes between the majority Meitei and the tribal Kuki communities since May this year.
“The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs for premature repatriation of Rakesh Balwal, IPS, from AGMUT cadre to Manipur cadre,” an official order said.
