COCOMI seeks safety zone for farmers

Time of India21-06-2025
Imphal: The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has called for the immediate declaration of a 'Farmer Safety Zone' with shoot-at-sight orders in vulnerable agrarian areas following the attack on a farmer on Thursday.
Ningthoujam Biren Singh, a local farmer, was shot at near an SSB security post at Phubala in Manipur's Bishnupur district. The attack reportedly took place after an alleged breach through three layers of security, including BSF, JKLI and SSB personnel. COCOMI termed the act as "a targeted and deliberate attempt to terrorise farmers, disrupt agricultural activities, and destabilise peace in the valley region".

Woman constable found dead, FIRlodged; autopsy indicates ‘foul play'

Pilibhit: Police in Pilibhit have registered an FIR under BNS section 108 (abetment to suicide) in the case involving the death of an SSB (Sashastra Seema Bal) woman constable on Aug 6, 2025. Cops claimed it was a case of suicide. However, the autopsy report says "there are over 10 injury marks on her body and her trachea". A senior officer said on Saturday that the FIR was lodged based on CCTV footage at the hotel in Dausa where the woman stayed with her family. The footage was later shared by Rajasthan cops. The woman, a resident of Jahanabad, Pilibhit district, died in Dausa under mysterious circumstances during her visit to Mehandipur Bala Ji temple with her family. Her family initially claimed that she died of illness but informed Pilibhit police that she committed suicide. CO of Pilibhit sadar circle, Vidhi Bhushan Maurya, said the FIR was filed based on a letter sent to SHO of Jahanabad by a deputy commandant of SSB, who termed her death as "unnatural". ASP Vikram Dahiya, meanwhile, said, "We will constitute a three-member panel of govt medical officers to review the autopsy report to reach a final conclusion about the actual cause of her death... We've lodged a zero FIR, which is to be transferred to Dausa police." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
