Imphal: Amid reports of theft, looting of property and land encroachment in Imphal, the Manipur government announced by releasing an order on Monday that the perpetrators of such crimes will face appropriate consequences as per law.
In an order from H Gyan Prakash, Commissioner and Secretary of Manipur, it is stated that the Manipur government is working out a plan for the protection and rehabilitation of people in relief camps.
Taking advantage of recent riots and the ensuing chaos, miscreants have allegedly committed burglary and trespassed into private property while their owners are away at relief camps for shelter from the violence in the state.
