Imphal, February 02: The State police will continue and intensify its random checking and frisking inside the complexes of all major Govt offices to prevent UGs from issuing demand letters to the various HoDs and DDOs after sneaking into the complexes, informed a high ranking official of the Manipur Police Department.

Talking to The Sangai Express today, the official informed that the Police Dept has received reports regarding the refusal of some of the Govt officials to sit in their respective offices due to threats from the UGs as well as armed cadres locking up some Govt offices.

To counter these threats, security measures have been stepped up in most of the Govt offices besides intensifying its ongoing drive to flush out UGs from the heart of the city.

He also informed that all the police stations concerned have been instructed to increase their routine checks in the Govt offices located under their respective jurisdictions and further said that security has been heightened at all the vital offices and areas to check infiltration of UGs into Govt offices.
