Imphal, August 19 2014:
Notwithstanding all the hue and cry raised by several civil society organisations including the UNC against deployment of additional security forces and imposition of prohibitory orders under CrPC Section 144, DIG Range III GA Bimolchandra Sharma has replaced DIG Range II Dr S Ibocha as the commander of State security forces deployed in Ukhrul town.
A convoy of police and IRB teams led by DIG GA Bimolchandra left for Ukhrul town this morning.
In line with the new arrangement, the police and IRB team deployed there under the command of DIG (Range-II) Dr S Ibocha came back to Imphal this evening.
Following the assassination of former Ukhrul ADC Chairman Ngalangzar Malue at Finch Corner by militants suspected to be NSCN-IM cadres on July 12, a strong team of State forces led by DIG Chandramani was deployed in Ukhrul town and they were replaced by the team led by Dr S Ibocha and then by the team led by GA Bimolchandra.
