The Manipur Cabinet at its meeting held on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister N Biren Singh decided to appoint Chingtham Andry Singh, son of slain SDPO of Moreh, Chingtham Anand Singh, as Assistant Sub Inspector in Manipur Police.
“We are concerned about how we lost a decorated officer who died on duty, the SDPO of Moreh, Chingtham Anand Singh. He was an MPS officer. The Cabinet has decided to appoint his son, Chingtham Andry Singh as Assistant Sub Inspector along with the liberalised pension to be given to him,” Manipur Minister Sapam Ranjan Singh said addressing the media in Imphal today regarding the decisions taken by the Cabinet.
The other decisions taken by the Cabinet include inclusion of CAPF, army and air personnel who are not residents of Manipur under the scheme for ex-gratia and financial assistance for violence hit people and Rs 5000 as compensatory allowance for Manipur Police commandos deployed in vulnerable and disturbed areas and a Rs 3000 increment for the state security forces posted in vulnerable and disturbed areas.
