Imphal, October 06 2023:
Chief Minister N Biren Singh, on Friday, inspected the 'drop box' which has been placed at the Khurai Sajor Leikai gate of CAF&PD minister L Susindro where snatched weapons can be deposited anonymously.
The deposited arms have been recovered by Imphal East police.
Soon after the government appealed to the public to surrender the arms and ammunitions snatched from the government's armoury, minister Susindro took up the initiative of setting up the 'drop box' so as to enable the people to deposit the looted weapons.
The drop box had "Please drop your snatched weapons here".
A tagline below this adds "Feel free to do so"', an indication that questions will not be asked how the weapons were in their possession in the first place.
Minister Susindro who was also present during the visit told reporters that the key of the drop box is in the custody of the Porompat police OC.
As of now, over 150 snatched weapons have been deposited in the drop box.
