Manipur: Anti-Immigration Efforts and Security Clarification
Manipur's former leader, N. Biren Singh, wants the government to keep finding and deporting illegal immigrants, mainly from Myanmar, just like they did before.
He believes these immigrants cause problems, like more crime and conflict.
The current administration says his security is still good, even though some extra security guards were sent back.
Singh had a lot of guards, and they only took away the extra ones.
Manipur is currently run by the President, and there was recent violence between different groups of people, resulting in a lot of deaths and displacement.
N. Biren Singh urged continuation of anti-immigration efforts, focusing on detecting and deporting illegal immigrants.
Singh highlighted past efforts, including verification drives that detected 5,457 illegal immigrants since 2017.
The Manipur administration refuted claims of a security downgrade for Singh.
Singh retains 'Z-plus' security, with excess personnel recalled following a security audit.
Manipur is under President's rule following ethnic clashes and Singh's resignation.
