These transfers come shortly after the state government, on August 3, gave in-principle approval to a significant proposal by the Manipur Police Department.
The proposal includes the establishment of a new Secretariat Police Station at Mantripukhri and the creation of twelve new Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) posts across various districts, marking a strategic move to bolster law enforcement capacity statewide.
