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.

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.
