A Manipur official said that due to the prevailing law and order situation in Bangladesh, there is a likelihood of an influx of people from the neighbouring country into Manipur.
Anticipating an influx of people from violence-hit Bangladesh, the Manipur government on Tuesday evening directed the Deputy Commissioners of two districts -- Pherzawl and Jiribam -- to clamp night curfew and further strengthen security and vigilance.
In his directive, the Home Department's Joint Secretary said that due to the prevailing law and order situation in Bangladesh, there is a likelihood of an influx of people from the neighbouring country into Manipur.
"Strict precautionary measures need to be taken to prevent the influx of illegal migrants," the order said, as it asked the Deputy Commissioners of the two concerned districts to impose night curfew and also take other precautionary measures such as maintenance of strict vigil by district police and other security forces along the borders at all times.
