Stating that the village has adequate security with the existence of SP Thoubal Office, 3rd IRB Post and other posts nearby, she maintained that there is no requirement of additional Central security forces in the area.
Raising the question why the Central forces should be deployed in the area when there is no incident of violence and conflict, she cautioned that the authorities concerned should be held responsible for any unwanted outcomes if the forces are deployed against the wishes of the people.
