Manipur to bolster policing with new Secretariat Police Stn
Imphal: In a bid to bolster effective policing, Manipur govt has approved the establishment of a new Secretariat Police Station at Mantripukhri and creation of 12 new sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) posts in both new and existing districts. According to a press communique issued here on Sunday night, the decision came after a proposal by Manipur Police Department, to enhance a strategic approach to improving security infrastructure amid growing administrative and operational demands especially with the imminent relocation of the state civil secretariat and police headquarters to Mantripukhri. The upcoming secretariat police station will cater not only to the secretariat and police headquarters, but also to several high-value institutions in the area, including the Manipur High Court, the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), and the Forest Office Complex. "The establishment of this police station is aimed at providing comprehensive law enforcement coverage in the new capital complex," a senior police officer said. A new SDPO (New Capital Complex) post has been approved under Imphal East district to oversee both the proposed Secretariat Police Station and the existing Heingang Police Station, thereby ensuring seamless command, improved coordination and faster response mechanisms to law-and-order situations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The creation of 11 additional SDPO posts across Manipur targets longstanding structural gaps in police supervision, particularly in newly created districts where only one SDPO post was previously sanctioned. The expansion comes as a timely response to mounting administrative challenges, insufficient crime investigation oversight, and increasing security demands in border and hill districts. Each SDPO post has been strategically mapped to key subdivisions to ensure tighter supervision, more accessible policing, and better public service delivery in both remote and sensitive regions.

School principal suspended for ‘forcing' students to learn Urdu, says was framed
Bijnor: The principal of a govt composite school in Bijnor district was suspended on Monday following allegations of religious discrimination and pressuring students to learn Urdu. The action was taken after videos of a student protest were widely circulated on social media, prompting basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) Yogendra Kumar to order an inquiry. Block education officer Indrapal Singh later submitted a report "confirming" the claims. Based on the findings, principal Mohammad Salauddin was suspended with immediate effect and attached to a primary school in Jahanabad Khobra. "There were allegations against Salauddin that he was forcing children to study Urdu and that he was getting students beaten up by others from a particular community. I ordered an investigation into the matter. On the basis of the report, Salauddin was prima facie found guilty and has been suspended. Further investigation is underway," said BSA Kumar. Meanwhile, Salauddin denied all charges. "All the allegations against me are baseless and fabricated by a man whose son studies in the same school. I was not teaching Urdu in school. A fair investigation should be conducted. Let the officers speak to all students," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo The controversy came to light after a group of students staged a protest outside the school in Harwampur Dharam village, in Kotwali Dehat block, on Saturday. They chanted slogans against the principal, accusing him of "forcing them to study Urdu". The students alleged that he "threatened those who refused, and at times, even had them beaten up by other students". They further claimed that Salauddin "only taught those willing to study Urdu, while ignoring the rest". "Religious discrimination will not be tolerated in schools under any circumstances. All teachers must adhere to the norms and instructions issued by the education department. The role of a teacher is to educate all children equally, without showing favouritism towards any particular community," BSA Kumar added.
