Imphal, July 02 2021:
Personnel of Yaingangpokpi police station which is within the Imphal East district are awaiting a usable police vehicle from the State Government.
The Sangai Express has learnt that due to absence of a usable vehicle since the past two months, the personnel had to use their own vehicle or rent privately in times of need.
Speaking to The Sangai Express, one of the personnel maintained that they have been facing a serious inconvenience while discharging duties and in their necessary movements due to lack of vehicles of the police station for the past two months after the only vehicle the station had went out of order.
A police station should necessarily have few vehicles to improve mobility and for security of the personnel posted at the station.
As no vehicle has been provided despite appeals to officials concerned, the personnel are in no state to chase criminals on the run or drug traffickers, the personnel said.
The role played by police in maintenance of law and order situation needs no mention but personnel of Yaingangpokpi police station have to either rely on private vehicles belonging to police personnel or officials have to spend from their own pocket to rent vehicles for regular patrol within the jurisdiction of the police station and other movements.
