Imphal, March 04 2012:
Out of 15,851 licensed guns issued before the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly election, only 617 guns were deposited in police stations.
In this connection, police have registered 227 number of FIRs.
According to a report published by the ECI, elections held in the five States of India so far were by and large peaceful except for the violent incident that occurred in Tampi polling station of Chandel district, Manipur.
However, despite the Government's notification to deposit licensed guns in police stations in the run up to the elections, only 617 licensed guns were deposited out of 15,851 licensed guns issued.
This figure was only 3.89 per cent.

Unlike Manipur, the rate of depositing licensed guns in police stations was high in the other States, says the ECI report.
Claiming that the model code of conduct was strictly followed during the recent elections, the report mentioned that police registered 227 cases in Manipur in connection with election related incidents and Rs 47 lakhs were also seized.
In addition, 17,448 litres of liquor, 3.8 Kgs of heroin, 10,01,200 numbers of contraband tablets, 30 guns and 777 rounds of ammunition were seized.
There was no report of any paid news from Manipur.
However, poll percentage was down by 6 per cent as compared to the poll percentage in the 2007 polls.
