Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh has called for action against top police officers over the attack by heavily armed "Kuki insurgents" in Manipur's Jiribam district bordering Assam on Sunday. The attack on Jiribam happened despite "advance intelligence report" given to the top police officers earlier this year, Mr Singh said. We have top police officials heading the Intelligence Wing in our State. State Government has to initiate an enquiry regarding the lackadaisical attitude of the officers who were given advance intelligence report by the State Government regarding the situation in Jiribam earlier...

"We have top police officials heading the intelligence wing in our state. State government has to initiate an enquiry regarding the lackadaisical attitude of the officers who were given advance intelligence report by the state government regarding the situation in Jiribam earlier this year," Mr Singh said in a post on X.
"These officers should be held accountable for the loss of lives and property of all those affected and, pending such enquiry they should be suspended and strict action should be taken up against them as per procedures prescribed by law," said the BJP MLA, who is also the son-in-law of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
