Manipur: CM worried over fresh attacks; state delegation to meet BJP leaders in Delhi

The recent attack on three commandos of Manipur Police in a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack has rocked Manipur, with Chief Minister N Biren Singh expressing concern over the attacks. He also added that a delegation will soon go to Delhi. 

The attack happened at the border town of Moreh in Tengnoupal district where five state police commandos were injured. They have been airlifted to Imphal and admitted to hospital.

Taking to X, Singh said "The unprecedented attacks against the state forces in the recent times have become a serious national security threat. While the state and central security forces are actively engaged in maintaining control over the situation, it is also imperative for the combined security forces to adopt a robust and comprehensive approach to deal with these elements, who are relentlessly attempting to destabilise the state of Manipur."

Following the attack, Biren Singh held a meeting with BJP state president A Sharda Devi, ministers, MLAs and party leaders on Sunday. A decision was taken to send a delegation to Delhi soon to meet the central leaders to apprise them about the situation in Manipur.

"Joined a high-level meeting of @BJP4Manipur in presence of Smt @AShardaDevi  Ji, President BJP Manipur Pradesh, Hon'ble Ministers, Hon'ble MLAs and party karyakarta to deliberate on a stringent approach to deal with elements who are hell bent on destabilising Manipur. A delegation will also be going to Delhi soon to meet the central leaders in this regard," he said on X.
