Manipur Police Receive 477 New Vehicles Amid Ongoing Modernisation Efforts

Manipur Police have inducted 477 new vehicles, including bulletproof cars, to enhance mobility and operational capacity, with 54 allocated for hill districts. This move is part of a broader police modernisation plan supported by a Rs 196.61 crore central grant approved in October 2025. Since ethnic violence erupted in May 2023, authorities identified and removed over 3,200 communal social media posts to maintain public order. Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh emphasized the government's commitment to strengthening the police and urged against violent agitations to restore peace.
