Imphal, January 11 2013:
IGAR (S) has stated that insurgency in Manipur is at the cross roads of the testing times and IGAR (S) has been at the forefront of guiding and motivating the youth of Manipur to shun the path of violence and join the mainstream.
In a press release, IGAR (S) stated that in spite of the prevailing security situation, its focus has been to provide the necessary impetus in the field of education, sports and health care.
From adoption of schools in remote areas to patronage of sports, we have reached out to the students and their parents.
The talent of the youth has been news grabber at every forum and own grooming has resulted in a large number of students winning launch at State and National level.
In an all out effort to bring back normalcy in the State, Assam Rifles has carved a niche in the society by bringing the unemployed youth to join the esteemed soldiering profession in the service of the nation.
In their efforts to bring about a paradigm shift in the motivational level and assisting the youths to join a respectable career, all battalions deployed in Manipur have been facilitating the recruitment of these youth into CAPF and CPMF at all stages.
Assam Rifles in Manipur have carried out recruitment in two centres namely Keithelmanbi and Pallel under the new system of recruitment through SSC in the year 2012, unlike in other NE States except Assam where only one centre was nominated.
It further stated that media houses in the state are publishing news in most of the dailies with purported conveyance of one sided attractive story.
Till today, many surrender have taken place, surrendering of UG cadres before the AR, Army, CRPF and CM/DGP too.
In none of the cases any one 'not belonging to a particular group' has surrender.
Before surrendering, their antecedents are verified and the state ensures any ambiguity.
Many a times cases have come to light that young boys in group of two to 5-7 were intercepted at IB with their guides detailed and UG groups crossing over to Myanmar for recruitment and were handed over to police and in some cases direct to the parents through Meira Paibies and other social organisation.
However, this particular media flashing without proper investigation into the issue has been done which not only casts slur on the good work Assam Rifles is engaged in, creates bad impression which goes in favour of the UG organisation and intents to in-balance smooth relation with civil administration too without much of gain, the release added.
The statistics shows that for rally at Pallel and Keithelmanbi 2050 call letters were issued and 850 passed the final test and basic initial criteria out of which 600 youth finally got enrolled based on authorised vacancy.
