Imphal, June 25 (EMN): To demonstrate its displeasures against the frequent transfer and posting of officers in the district, the Naga Peoples’ Organisation (NPO) and other district frontal organisations based in Senapati district headquarters have decided to impose 24 hours total shut down across the length and breadth of Senapati district, sources from Senapati said.
The total shut down will be effected from 6 am of June 27 till 6 am of June 28.
According to a press release issued by NPO, frequent transfer of officers in the district such as DC, SP, HOD, etc, is becoming a regular trend and detrimental to peace and development in the district.
The most recent transfer of Superintendent of Police (SP) M Pradip Singh, who was posted in the district barely four months ago and replaced by Hopson Sapam on June 23 is uncalled for and hence should be immediately revoked, the NPO release stated.
Senapati district inhabited by various ethnic groups and bordering with other states is prone to law and order problems. The state government should not act without rhymes and reasons and wantonly transfer the officers at their whims like tossing of volley ball or chess pawns to edge political mileage, the release stated.
At the receiving end it is the general public who always suffers. Failure to revoke the above transfer order will be taken seriously by the people of Senapati and more stringent actions including total indefinite bandh of all Inter-state transport systems will follow and the Government of Manipur shall be solely responsible for all the woes of the people of Manipur, the release added.
However the educational institutions, electricity department, water supply, medical, media, paramilitary forces would be exempted from the purview of the total shutdown.
