Situation in Manipur out of control, CM appeals for surrender of looted arms

Imphal, May 31, 2023 (PPI-OT): Law and order situation is getting out of the state government’s control in Manipur, India, with Chief Minister N Biren Singh issuing appeals on appeals to people to surrender arms, looted from security forces. N Biren Singh in a signed statement also appealed to all concerned in Manipur not to block roads and hinder the free movement of security personnel. He warned of legal action against anyone found to be in unauthorised and illegal possession of arms and ammunition.

The chief minister pleaded that such roadblocks were making it extremely difficult for security and police personnel to respond to attacks by armed groups on time. ” I appeal to all persons concerned to return and surrender the arms and ammunition which have been snatched from armed police battalions, police stations, etc., in valley and hill districts to the nearest police station at the earliest,” the chief minister said.
