Imphal, September 07 2024: The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has demanded the resignation of both the DGP and the Security Advisor (SA) citing their inaction and failure to address the escalating violence perpetrated by armed Chin-Kuki narco-terrorist groups.

In two strongly worded letters, COCOMI called for immediate resignation of the DGP and the Security Advisor, from the post of chairman of the Unified Command as well.

In the letters, COCOMI accused both the officials of negligence and failing to provide adequate protection to civilians amid ongoing drone bombings and aerial assaults carried out by Chin-Kuki narco-terrorist groups operating from the hill territories of the state.

COCOMI asserted that despite numerous appeals and extended patience, both the security heads have failed to effectively counter the growing threats to the indigenous population.

In their letter, to the DGP, COCOMI claimed that his leadership had proven insufficient to safeguard the lives and properties of the people of Manipur, who continue to live in fear.

The committee highlighted the unaddressed drone attacks and the general sense of insecurity among the local population, further asserting that the DGP had lost the people's trust.

In a separate letter addressed to the security advisor, who also the chairman of Unified Command overseeing the armed forces deployed in the state, COCOMI expressed frustration at the advisor's inability to offer a meaningful response to the crisis.

They accused him of making ineffective public Statements that failed to confront the real security challenges posed by the narco-terrorist groups.

The indigenous people, COCOMI argued, have endured continuous suffering due to the failure to coordinate an adequate military response, leaving civilians exposed to further attacks.

Both letters ultimately called for immediate resignations of the DGP and the Security Advisor, claiming tha t new leadership is necessary to ensure the security and well-being of the state's indigenous population.

COCOMI concluded that under the current leadership, the threats from armed groups remain unchecked, and a decisive change in the state's security apparatus is needed to restore peace in the state.
