IGP's Message
Key achievement of Manipur and Nagaland sector:-
Due to continuous deployment of CRPF since 1957 in Nagaland state, the separatist Naga National Council (NNC) gave away violence and signed the Shillong accord with Govt. of India in the year 1975.
The deployment and success of operation of various Armed Forces and various CRPF units in the states leads towards the cease fire declaration by NSCN (IM) with the government of India on 1st Oct, 1997.
Due excellent work and successful operations of CRPF in the state of Manipur the SoO (suspension of operation) agreed and signed by the 21 Manipur Valley based insurgent.
CRPF was entrusted with the responsibility of guarding and escorting the FCI/IOC/Civil truck/ Tanker coming from Assam via Dimapur to Imphal and vice versa. Maintaining law and order on NH-39 due to economic blockade declared by various insurgent groups. Due to constant and unstinted efforts of our troops, the Manipur state gradually recovered from the shortage of essential commodities and prices got stablized. Thus, CRPF is securing the life line of Manipur.
Protection of Governor of Manipur is ensured by CRPF personnel deployed for house protection and close protection duties.
Protection of Chief Minister of Nagaland is ensured by M&N sector by close coordination, supervision, training of CRPF personnel by providing house protection/ and mobile escort.
Ensuring safe construction of Railway Line from Jiribam (Assam Silchar) to Imphal, inspite of security threat of various insurgent groups. Now only patch of about 100 kms is left out as rail line has been laid upto Khongsang. Once it is competed upto Imphal, it will be a great boon to the development of northeast in general and to Manipur in particular.
Ensuring safety of VVIPs, VIP, Civil personnel by deploying troops for ROP duty in the belt of NH-2 and NH-37.
