Officials questioned the handing over of key functions to CISF, one of the only paramilitary forces with limited experience in interacting with the public — at airports and metro stations.
While the orders for deploying CISF in the lobby and the precincts of the new parliament building are yet to be announced, officials said a PSS component will have to be retained as CISF officials may not be adept in recognising the members of parliament or former members or prevent the entry of an “imposter”.

The total number of cadres and the monthly stipend to be allocated to the cadres is also not known.
In 2008, after the Manipur government, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and 24 Kuki insurgent groups formalised a Suspension of Operation (SoO) pact, the Assam Rifles was designated as the monitoring agency. The pact, extended annually, is set to expire on February 28

The faction that signed the pact is led by K Pambei, the other faction led by RK Achou Singh is said to be in Myanmar.

The UNLF was preparing to celebrate its 59th anniversary when the camp was destroyed, and five cadres were said to have been killed by the Peoples Defence Force, an ethnic armed group in Myanmar.
Though the MHA did not share the details of the surrendered militants, The Hindu has learnt that as many as 65 cadres of one of the factions of the UNLF, led by K. Pambei, have joined the peace pact. The 65 cadres of the Pambei faction are said to have entered Manipur during the ongoing ethnic violence.

On NewsClick,a government source told The Hindu that the police were investigating a “terror case that has Chinese links.” NewsClick has denied that it at behest of any Chinese entity, directly or indirectly.
In papers submitted in court, accessed by The Hindu, police accuse the NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha of holding discussions with Neville Roy Singham, an “active member of Propaganda department of Communist Party of China” to distort the map of India by projecting Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as disputed territory. Singham, an American businessman has been referred as an accused by police. Police say they recovered 4.73 lakh emails
@khabrimishra @samridhitewari and I report
Incidentally, the Delhi Police registered the FIR on August 17, days after The New York Times published a report on August 8 that the portal received money from Mr. Singham, the American businessman, to spread Chinese propaganda.
According to the police, the ED also registered a second case against NewsClick on August 14, following the NYT report and during investigation the agency seized electronic gadgets from the suspects. It said the data extracted by the ED was stored in five hard disks, the analysis of which revealed a “larger conspiracy that the accused persons along with accused Neville Roy Singham conspired to create disaffection among various sections of the society and they are also found to be actively sympathising with banned terrorist organisation.”

Army cited specific examples of the media in Manipur suggesting that it may be playing “a major role in arousing passion and not letting sustainable peace to come in”.
In Imphal, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said at a press conference that his government had filed an FIR against the president and three members of the EGI and accused them of trying to provoke clashes in the State.
