Amidst ongoing violence in Manipur since May 3, 2023 the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General, Sujoy Lal Thaosen has redefined the operational ranges in the region and transferred two senior DIG-rank officers from Nagaland and Assam to the state, Manipur.
The official order states, “In view of the present security scenario in Manipur and increased level of CRPF deployment, supervision of senior officers of DIGs across strategic places of the state has been felt essential and crucial. Accordingly, to have effective control and supervision over the existing and additional companies deployed in Manipur, DIG (Ops) Kohima and DIG (Range) Silchar are temporarily placed in Manipur with immediate effect by establishing tactical headquarters.”
A total of 124 companies has been dispatched to Manipur, comprising 57 CRPF, 10 Rapid Action Force (RAF), 48 Border Security Force (BSF), four Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and five Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) units.
