Governor’s appeal to surrender weapons in Manipur on a slow start

The Hindu  

On Saturday, following the Governor’s appeal, people of the Kuki-Zomi community in Churachandpur district surrendered 16 looted and illegal weapons. The weapons, including AK rifles, under-barrel grenade launchers and gelatine sticks, were surrendered with the joint efforts of Assam Rifles, State intelligence agencies, Central Reserve Police Force and the Manipur Police. Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on February 20 appealed to people from all communities in the ethnic-violence-hit State to surrender looted police weapons by February 26 or face strict action. Manipur Police has instructed all police districts to deposit the recovered ‘looted police weapons and ammunition’ either with the Army formations or the Assam Rifles for “safe custody.” The instructions were first issued on January 3, the day Mr. Bhalla took charge as Governor, Manipur. After ethnic violence erupted between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities in the State on May 3, 2023, more than 6,000 police weapons, lakhs of ammunition, bullet-proof jackets and tear gas shells were looted from police armouries in hill and valley districts.
