Thoubal, November 29 2023:
A public meeting was organised by 14 Clubs & Meira Paibi Co-Ordinating Committee of 5 Villages, an apex body of five villages of Charangpat, Nepra Company, Bengi, Thokchom and Icham Khunou at Charangpat Mamang Leikai on Wednesday to express their disapproval of the order issued on November 27 for transferring SP Thoubal Sachidananda Soibam and replacing him by a non-Manipuri officer.
Addressing a press meet in connection with the meeting, Committee's Women Wing convener Meisnam Manglembi emphasised that Home Department must refrain from frequent transfer of district SPs, especially as the state is facing ethnic conflict since May 3 .
Stating that it is unfortunate that a non Manipuri, who is handicapped by language bar rier, has been appointed as SP Thoubal in a peaceful district, she claimed that such measures will only be seen as step to disrupt peace and normalcy in the district.
Manglembi further demanded that the Home Department revoke the said order at the earliest.
Meanwhile, Meetei Community Joint Co-ordinating Committee of Waithou to Kiyam, Kiyam Siphai, Haokha & Thoubal Khunou and Women Wing have opposed the transfer order of SP Thoubal Sachidananda Soibam and demanded revocation of the transfer order.
The Committee stressed that transfer of Sachidananda amidst the prevailing crisis is not advisable.
