The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has urged the central government to set up a dedicated anti-narcotics bureau in the northeastern region.<\/p>\n
The conglomerate of civil society organisations based in the state capital Imphal also appealed to the Centre to declare the region as a “narco-terrorist emergency zone”.<\/p>\n
In a memorandum addressed to the chief ministers of northeastern states, COCOMI convenor Khuraijam Athouba said, “We urge the government of India to officially declare the northeastern region as a narco-terrorist emergency zone to highlight the gravity of the situation and mobilise national resources accordingly.”<\/p>\n
The COCOMI demanded the establishment of a “specialised anti-narcotics bureau or force dedicated to combating drug trafficking and narco terrorism in the region”.<\/p>\n
The bureau should work transparently and coordinate with the state governments and local authorities, COCOMI said in the memorandum.<\/p>\n
The organisation called for a thorough investigation into “alleged complicity of influential individuals and entities in Manipur, Mizoram and Myanmar’s Chin state in supporting narco terrorism activities”.<\/p>\n\n
It sought measures to destroy infrastructure supporting drug smuggling and illegal arms trafficking as well.<\/p>\n
