Srinagar SSP Rakesh Balwal repatriated to Manipur amid fresh unrest
Thursday, 28 September 2023 Amid a fresh bout of violent protests in Manipur, this time over the kidnapping and killing of two students, the central government has cut short the inter-cadre deputation of Srinagar’s senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rakesh Balwal, a Manipur cadre IPS officer, and repatriated him to his parent cadre. The Manipur government had sought his premature repatriation around 20 days back, as per sources.
Several district authorities and security forces in Manipur's Jiribam district on Thursday facilitated a peace meeting between the Meitei and Hmar (part of the Kuki-Chin-Zo group) communities.
