IMPHAL, Jan 21: Making it clear that they suspect a conspiracy behind the abrupt transfer of SIU OC K Ranjit to CAR and subsequent abolition of SIU in the aftermath of the seizure of drugs worth Rs 1.4 crores from Tulihal Airport on January 11, 12 different civil society organisations have jointly submitted a memorandum to the Governor, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and the DGP.
The memorandum jointly submitted by CADA, Nupi Samaj, UPF, NIPCO, AMSU, Tammi Chingmi, Macha Leima, MAPI Council, ANUL, EECHAL, TDWDO and UPACO while conveying their suspicion of the involvement of some high ranking officials in smuggling drugs into the State, demanded revival of the abolished SIU as well reinstatement of K Ranjit to his former post.
Pointing out that civil society organisations, Meira Paibis, local clubs and NGOs have been trying their best to uproot drug menace from the State since the past many decades, the memorandum noted that illicit drugs continue to pose stiff challenges for the past 20 years during which widows, orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS have multiplied manifold.
The memorandum also demanded disclosure of the particular smuggler whose drugs were seized from Imphal airport.
The civil society organisations further urged the Government to fulfil all their three demands by January 27.
