Manipur Cabinet Approves 2,720 Police Vacancies to Strengthen Law Enforcement

The Manipur cabinet approved a total of 2,720 police vacancies on Monday, a move that is expected to bolster the state’s law‑enforcement capacity. The new posts cover a range of ranks, from constable to senior supervisory positions, and are spread across the 16 districts. Officials say the decision responds to growing security challenges and the need to fill long‑standing gaps in the police force. Recruitment will begin in the coming weeks, with candidates expected to undergo standard selection tests and training at the state police academy. The government has also earmarked funds for infrastructure upgrades to support the expanded workforce.
