Imphal, April 29 2013:
With alarming increase in the involvement of Manipur Police personnel in different crimes including rape, smuggling of drugs, kidnapping for ransom among others, it is high time for a thorough cleaning of Police Department from top to bottom, Manipur People's party (MPP) has exclaimed.
Addressing media persons at its office here today, Advisor of MPP O Joy stated though there are sincere and trustworthy police officers in Manipur Police Department, some officers and personnel who lack integrity have given a bad name to State police force as a whole.
This is because of the failure of legal system and its judicial mechanism in the State.
While praising the role of Thoubal Police Commandos who arrested an 11-member team of Police Commandos while trying to smuggle out drugs to Moreh and beyond at Pallel yesterday, O Joy observed that with involvement of police commandos coming to light, the problem of drug is becoming a serious issue and a concern for all over the serious breach in overall administration of the State.
So, the authority concerned needs to do a thorough cleaning of the State Police Department at the earliest possible.
Party President N Sobhakiran, who was also present during the press conference, stated that the issue of smuggling drugs into Manipur is not a new thing and it has been going on for the last many years.
The only difference is that the mask over the faces of VVIPs involved in drug smugglings has started revealing lately.
