Moreh mini Columbia : Army officer
Times of India | Prabin Kalita | TNN | Feb 28, 2013, 06.10 AM IST
The arrest of an army colonel in Manipur in the recent contraband drug smuggling case may have come as a shock to many, but army officers who have served postings at Moreh say "lucrative offers" - read bribes - to act as carriers of drugs have often been made to them.
A senior army officer who was earlier posted at Moreh compares the border town to a mini Columbia, where drugs and guns are the order of the day. "It is not that Moreh is an unprotected space. Every movement there is monitored through cameras by security agencies. Every Indian agency has its men there, be it the Narcotics Control Bureau, customs or Intelligence Bureau. The border is manned by Assam Rifles instead of BSF and yet there is nothing legal about the trade that goes on there," the army officer said.
