- DIMAPUR — The Mon Police launched the
"Youth Migration Monitoring and Safety" programme on Saturday at the
SP Office, Mon.
- An update from Mon Police stated that the initiative, also
known as the "Mon Migration Trail", was formally inaugurated in the
presence of S Phangnon Konyak, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha; Wennyei
Konyak, Deputy Commissioner of Mon; and Kanchan Kumar Kandpal, Superintendent
of Police, Mon.
- The programme was officially launched by Phangnon, who
lauded the effort as a timely and much-needed intervention for the youth of the
region. She spoke of the challenges faced by young people migrating out of the
state and emphasised the need for compassionate, community-based solutions.
- DC Wennyei, in his address, urged all
stakeholders—particularly village leaders and civil society—to contribute to
its success. He stressed the importance of keeping the database current and
using it to extend timely support to those in need, adding that the district
administration would continue to lend full support to the initiative.
- SP Kandpal, in his explanation and demonstration of the
system, shared the vision behind the initiative. He noted that the Mon district
has long witnessed a steady stream of youth migrating in search of better
opportunities. While many succeed, others often fall into distressing
circumstances—being underpaid, defrauded, or subjected to abuse.
