Imphal, March 18 2016 : The State Cabinet held a meeting this evening and discussed about strengthening Police Department so as to ensure proper governance in all the districts before coming up with a decision to recruit 2306 Police Constables (male) and 519 Riflemen.

According to Government spokesman M Okendro, 2306 Constables and 519 Riflemen would be appointed through direct recruitment but there would be certain changes to the existing rules and regulations.

Minimum educational qualification for Constables would be raised from Class X to XII and from Class VIII passed to Class X passed for MR Riflemen.

The Cabinet decision to recruit police Constables is not related with the earlier decision to recruit 2000 Constables for which due process was initiated and stalled, Okendro stated.

The Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister O Ibobi resolved to create a Lairou sub-division by amalgamating 15 villages which are currently under Tadubi sub-division of Senapati district.

The new sub-division would have a total population of 23,155 and it would cover Maram Khullakpa Sagei, Maram Bazar, Maram Mathak Sagei, Maram Ramlong, New Maram, Maram Centre, Maram Makha Sagei, Lairouching, Khongnem, Mao Marafii, Maram Sagom-bam, Maram Kavanam, Puni Pfosemai, New Magaimai and Sadim Naga.

The State Cabinet further agreed to open five sub-divisional offices under the Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL).

The five new sub-divisions are Lamphel Sub- Division-III, Kwakeithel Sub-Division-II, Kakching Sub-Division-II, Thoubal Sub-Division-II and Churachandpur Sub-Division-II.

Creation of the five new sub-divisions would not entail any entail expenditure to the Government, Okendro asserted.
