He further stated that Imphal Airport is also susceptible for transportation of illegal immigrants, so a special Police Check Post would be opened to detect illegal immigration from
tomorrow.
Highlighting the frequent kidnapping of officials working on Imphal-Jiri Railway Project for ransom, the Chief Minister said that such unwanted incidents hamper the developmental works in the State. Such incidents must be stopped immediately, he appealed.
