Imphal, May 21 : Some agreements on the State Government-proposed ground rules of the Suspension of Operation (SoO) with Kuki UG outfits operating in Manipur have been arrived at during a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Jarnail Singh at New Delhi yesterday.
A reliable source said the meeting held at a hotel in New Delhi was attended by Joint Secretary (Northeast in-charge) of Union Home Ministry Navin Burma, DGP of Manipur Y Joykumar and IGP Intelligence LM Khoute.
During the course of the meeting, the State Government from its side stuck to its earlier stand of adopting the ground rules of the SoO formulated by it insisting that the any talks with the UG groups should be proceeded keeping in mind the territorial integrity of Manipur and the Constitution.
The State Government proposed that UG groups concerned should provide the list of their respective cadres and no designated camps should be set up within 20 kms of the International boundary nor along the National Highways or populated areas.
Furthermore, the State Government made it clear that it would issue identity cards to UG cadres and the designated camps would be guarded by the State police or the Central forces, thus making it compulsory for the UG cadres to seek prior permission if they want to venture out of the designated camp area.
After listening to all the proposals of the State Government, even if the UG groups which would enter into SoO could not agree to all the proposals atleast showed sign of agreements on some points, the source informed.
The meeting held at a venue decided by the Union Home Ministry also agreed to hold the next round of meeting very soon, the source added.
