Imphal, Mar 9 : Taking into account insurgency-related activities in Manipur, governor Gurbachan Jagat has said law and order situation was showing a sign of a turn-around.
"I am pleased to report that the law and order situation in our state is showing signs of a turn-around," the Governor said while addressing the assembly here on Tuesday.
He said the number of civilians killed and injured has come down from 92 and 117 in 2007 to20 to 53 respectively in 2010. The number of police and security forces personnel killed has also declined from 41 to 5 in the corresponding period.
"On the other hand, the number of extremists arrested has risen from 1296 to 1397 and detentions under the NSA have risen from 145 to 230. In fact, we are seeing signs of improvement which go beyond statistical data," Jagat said.
There is an increasing realization among the general public about the activities of militant organizations.
"This has raised willingness to resist. Wakat Meephams or sit-in protests are promptly organized against underground organizations that kidnap, kill or indulge in extortions," he said.
