Imphal, May 18 2022: Five more police personnel, including a woman constable, have been placed under suspension on Tuesday after they were found subletting the government quarters allotted to them.

The five, who have been penalised for defying the government's order already issued that cautioned action in case of government facilities (quarters) are leashed out/sublet, are Mutum Romen Singh of Heingang police station, Mangvung Hatkholam Haokip, a woman constable of 9 India Reserve Battalion (IRB) B Company (Khuman Lampak) presently attached to SP Tengnoupal, Ngangom Shantikumar Singh of Bishnupur district police, Pougongrei Gangmei of 6 IRB (Adm-Coy) and Y Priyokumar Singh of Imphal West police station.

The suspended police personnel are prohibited to leave their respective headquarters without taking prior permission from their concerned authorities.

Moreover, they will get subsistence allowance as admissible under rules during their suspension period, said an order.

Sources said that three more police personnel are under investigation for allegedly subletting their quarters to unauthorised families.

Earlier, four other government employees, including one IRB follower, were suspended for subletting their government allotted quarters to unauthorised families.

To streamline proper allotment of government quarters both at district headquarters and in Imphal, the state government has already constituted verification teams at the state level as well as at the district headquarters level for verification or checking of government accommodation or quarters.
