Amit Shah Directs Reinforcement of Security Forces in Manipur

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered the deployment of additional Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) companies in Manipur as violence continues to escalate in the region.

The directive comes amid renewed tensions and incidents of arson, underscoring the government’s priority to restore law and order.

Heightened Security Measures

The Home Ministry’s decision follows reports of unrest in Imphal and neighboring districts, with properties being damaged and residents expressing concerns over safety. The additional CAPF units will strengthen ongoing efforts to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation.

Shah emphasized the importance of coordinated action between state and central forces to ensure public safety. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is closely monitoring the developments and has assured swift and decisive action to restore normalcy.

Response to Escalating Unrest

The deployment aims to support the Manipur government in addressing the challenges posed by recurring violence. Shah’s directive reflects the Centre’s commitment to maintaining peace and addressing grievances in the violence-hit state.

The reinforcement of security forces is part of a broader strategy to bring relief to affected communities while ensuring justice for those impacted by the unrest. Efforts to engage with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution are ongoing.
