Imphal, June 25 2010:
The Director General of Police, Manipur, Y Joykumar today refuted the allegations levelled against him and the Manipur Police Department in a news report published by a vernacular daily published in Imphal.
Reacting to the said news item which alleged that on June 8, the Commissioner of CAF&PD gave in writing to DGP, Manipur about the non-tracing of 73 oil tankers and requested for tracing out these vehicles, and which also alleged that due to non-initiation of timely action on part of the police, the 73 tankers remained untraced till date, a statement of clarification issued by the DGP stated that Commissioner (CAF & P.O.) or any of his staff had neither given in writing nor verbally about the non-tracing of 73 oil tankers to the DGP, Manipur or any police official of Manipur Police till date.
On the other hand, it is the Police Department which has been making all out efforts by calling meeting with the LO.C.authorities of Imphal Depot along with owners and contractors of oil tankers of Manipur to sort out the problem of very few oil tankers bringing petroleum products for the state, the DGP's statement asserted.
