In the aftermath of renewed violence, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) DIG Manish Kumar Sachar confirmed on Wednesday that the situation in Manipur is now fully under control. A day after clashes broke out, security forces have stepped up their efforts to curb unrest, giving a befitting response to miscreants.

Deployment of Forces: Ensuring Security Across Key Areas

According to Sachar, the CRPF, Assam Rifles, and Manipur Police commandos have been stationed at Gamgiphai—the critical interstate checkpoint between the Kuki area of Kangpokpi district and the Meitei area of West Imphal. This deployment aims to prevent unauthorized entry of individuals and products into sensitive areas.
