Guwahati/Imphal, Jan 22 (NationPress) In an unprecedented act, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh presented a Commendation Certificate to the Director General of Assam Police along with eight other police officials for their role in training 1,946 police recruits from Manipur, as reported by officials on Wednesday.
A representative from the Assam police stated that the Commendation Certificates were awarded to DGP G.P. Singh, Special DGP Harmeet Singh, and seven other officers in acknowledgment of their contributions to training the Manipur police.
The certificate was formally received by Inspector General of Assam Police, Law and Order, Akhilesh Kumar Singh in Imphal during a ceremony marking Statehood Day on Tuesday.
In total, 1,984 recruits of the Manipur police participated in training at the Lachit Borphukan Police Academy (LBPA) in January of the previous year, with 1,946 recruits completing their training by December 23.
Chief Minister Singh attended the passing-out parade for the newly recruited Manipur police personnel at LBPA located in Dergaon, within Assam's Golaghat district, on December 23.
Singh noted that due to the challenging situation in Manipur, he had previously reached out to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for assistance in training the new recruits, to which Sarma promptly agreed.
“The historical bond between Assam and Manipur is clearly evident,” Singh remarked while commending the Assam Chief Minister and the Assam police officials for their valuable support in training Manipur’s police personnel.
Officials indicated that among the 1,946 recruits, there is a diverse caste distribution: 62 percent are non-tribal Meiteis, 12 percent are tribal Kuki-Zo, and the remaining 26 percent represent Naga and other tribes. The Manipur Chief Minister had previously stated that, considering the present law and order situation, the new constables would receive specialized training.
“Specialized training is vital to strengthen and prepare the police force to guarantee safety and security throughout Manipur. We are dedicated to providing our police personnel with top-notch facilities and training to effectively tackle any challenges,” Singh stated.
