In a big development, the Manipur Government has announced the establishment of a dedicated Integrated Anti-Extortion Cell under the Home Department, comprising representatives from the State Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), and Assam Rifles/Army.
As per an official release, the initiative aims to create an efficient and robust response mechanism to address demands and extortion-related activities, ensuring the safety and security of the public.
