GUWAHATI: BJP-led Manipur govt has transferred 60 bureaucrats and 10 police officers, marking the biggest administrative reorganisation since ethnic violence erupted in the state in May 2023. The orders were issued Tuesday by the chief secretary under the authority of the governor.
This large-scale overhaul comes as Manipur continues to grapple with ethnic unrest between Meiteis in Imphal Valley and the Kuki-Zo tribe in the hills, which has claimed more than 250 lives and displaced nearly 60,000 people so far. As part of the rejig, IAS officer Paulunthang Vaiphei, DG of State Academy of Training, and IFS officer Anurag Bajpai, the principal chief conservator of forests and head of the forest force, have been given additional charges as chief secretaries, while continuing their existing responsibilities. tnn
