IMPHAL, Oct 3 - Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh today inaugurated a guesthouse of Senapati District Police at Mao via video conferencing here. The guesthouse was constructed at a cost of around Rs 27 lakh. The Chief Minister said that the BJP-led government is making sincere efforts to ensure that development and administration reach the most interior parts of the State.
Stating that Mao is one of the most important entry points to Manipur, Biren acknowledged the difficulties faced by the police in checking entry of people during the pandemic. He also instructed the police to continue working with dedication and sincerity, and stated that rewards for hard work come automatically. Mao is about 110 km from Imphal. Stating that the police should always try to explore different ways to convince the public, he said that they should hold regular interactions with the people and the civil society organisations so that unwarranted agitations like bandhs and blockades can be averted.
He also directed the police not to confront the public but make them feel that the government is their guardian and nobody is above the law.
He expressed hope that the newly inaugurated guesthouse would reduce the inconvenience faced by police officers and personnel earlier while visiting the border town on official purposes.
Public Health Engineering Minister Losii Dikho, who is the local MLA, described the inauguration of the police guesthouse as a very welcome development.
Dikho also appreciated Mao police�s work towards proper management of the COVID-19 pandemic by maintaining strict vigil on entry of people from outside.
Manipur DGP LM Khaute, Additional DGP (LO) AK Sinha, IGP (Administration) Immanuel K Muivah, IGP (AP/Operations/Provisioning) E Priyokumar and other high-ranking police officers were also present during the inauguration.
