Imphal: Manipur officials have launched a fleet of 400 advanced police vehicles as part of an ongoing state modernisation scheme. The initiative aims to enhance the mobility and operational efficiency of the force. The vehicles were officially flagged off on Monday at the 1st Battalion Manipur Rifles Parade Ground in Imphal, attended by Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand, Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam, and top police leadership.
The deployment strategy allocates 54 percent of the new fleet to hill districts, while the remaining 46 percent will serve the valley areas.
