Imphal, August 03 2025: The State Government has, in principle, approved the establishment of a new Secretariat Police Station at Mantripukhri and creation of 12 new Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) posts in various districts across the State.

With the impending relocation of the State Civil Secretariat and Police Headquarters to Mantripukhri, there is a growing need to ensure adequate security coverage and effective law enforcement presence in the area, according to a press release issued by the DGP, Manipur.

The proposed Secretariat police station will provide essential policing services to not only the new Secretariat complex and Police Headquarters but also to several other critical institutions in the vicinity such as the Manipur High Court, HIT and Forest Office complex, it said.

In view of the administrative complexity and increased security demands in the area, the Government has also approved the creation of a dedicated SDPO, New Capital Complex under the jurisdiction of Imphal East district.

This officer will be responsible for supervising the proposed Secretariat police station and the existing Heingang police station, thereby ensuring coordinated command, effective case monitoring and timely response to emerging law and order situations, it said.

Further, in order to address the longstanding shortage of supervisory officers in several districts, particularly the newly created ones such as Kangpokpi, Tengnoupal, Kamjong, Pherzawl and Noney, the Government has approved the creation of additional SDPO posts to improve the administrative and operational efficiency of district policing units.

The approved new SDPO posts are SDPO Kangpokpi, SDPO Sapermeina, SDPO New Keithelmanbi, SDPO Tengnoupal, SDPO Kasom Khullen, SDPO Kamjong, SDPO Parbung, SDPO Noney, SDPO New Capitol Complex, SDPO Chakpikarong, SDPO Singhat and SDPO Tamei.

These posts have been carefully mapped to specific police stations or sub-divisions within the respective districts to ensure closer supervision of policing functions, improved public interface and faster response to local issues, the DGP added.
