Imphal, June 14 : Home minister Gaikhangam today asked police to be more humane.
It is a common notion of the general public that commandos and brutality are two sides of the same coin. The sights of police commandos in Manipur often make the general public insecure.
Gaikhangam asked the police force in Manipur not to forget that they too are also human beings while carrying out any counter insurgency operation.
Inspecting a police complex at Minuthong in Imphal East district today, Gaikhangam said the commandos should deal things with humility and that least number of casualties is incurred while conducting counter insurgency operations. “It does not mean the police commandos to be aloof and inactive in duties but to be more human,” the home minister stated.
Speaking to DCO officers, personnel at the said complex said, the CDO complex will be updated and improved at Lamphelpat at a land of about 100 acres. The responsibilities of CDO are important therefore they should perform their duties with discipline and ethics of uniforms. It is unfortunate as news of untoward incidents among CDOs can be heard nowadays. It is caused due to lack of discipline during training period.
We should proud of Manipur Police as it is a remarkable orgn. In the world. The commandos should not forget ‘We are also human’ during insurgency and counter terrorism and if necessary they should possess the quality of apology, the home minister further told them.
He also instructed the concerned authority to construct gate and fencing of the complex. He also asked to renovate the community hall. The special secy. (home) Suresh Babu, DGP, R Baral, ADGP LM Khoute, L. Kailun, DIG, SP, Imphal west, Jayenta accompanied the minister during his visit.
