How does the expansion of CRPF's role in Manipur affect the security situation in the region

Discussing the implications of the Centre's decision to enhance CRPF's responsibilities in Manipur.
  • Increased presence of CRPF in Manipur can lead to a better handling of security challenges as they bring experience and training to combat insurgency.
  • However, there is a risk of heightened tensions with local communities due to perception of heavy-handed tactics and human rights abuses.
  • The move may also lead to more coordinated efforts with state police forces, improving intelligence sharing and operational effectiveness.
  • On the flip side, centralization of security operations may lead to backlash from local insurgent groups, escalating violence in the region.
  • Overall, the impact of CRPF's expanded role in Manipur will depend on the balance struck between security measures and respect for human rights.
