RNYO demands clean sheet on police officer suspension order

IMPHAL | Sept 9

The Rongmei Naga Youth Organization has demanded a clean sheet regarding the suspension order of one F. Gonglin (IPS) SP Senapati and other two officers who also have been kept under suspension and their pensions blocked.

A release signed by president of the organisation, G. Gwangphun said that the article published under the caption, “Sub- Standard belt supply to police, 2 cops suspended…” on September 2 in a local newspaper is a matter of serious public concern demanding prompt and remedial measure.

The government had made the disciplinary penalty order without making a proper enquiry and appears that the matter is politically motivated and influenced, it alleged. The order was issued without considering the stage in which the parties concerned, tender committee and the purchaser had already established terms of agreement and verification made on numbers and quality of the belts at the first stage of negotiation and agreement made between the responsible agents of the firm and police department, it further said.

The matter calls for through enquiry to unravel the action or omissions that had taken place at various stages and processes of the procurement, it continued. The organisations expressed disappointment over the act of character assassination or defamation made towards a respected and abled officer in such a manner before establishing his fault, continued.

 Such acts committed must be remedied and the prestige of the officer restored all in the interest of upholding the reputation of the government and the nation, it added.
