The Manipur cabinet convened the state Assembly session on July 31, following the conclusion of the 5th session of the new government on March 5.

Government spokesperson Sapam Ranjan said the decision was adopted during the state cabinet meeting held on Friday as one of the 43 listed agendas. Ranjan said the meeting also adopted several resolutions, including significant legislative amendments like revision of the Manipur Private School Registration and Regulation Act of 2017 and the DMU Act to address Vice Chancellor selection and tenure.

In the healthcare sector, new rules under the Manipur Health Service dental regulations will be formulated, the spokesperson informed.

The spokesperson also said that the Cabinet decided on the bifurcation of manpower, particularly ministerial staff, and deployment of Village Defence Force (VDF) personnel in respect of seven newly-created districts from the erstwhile districts. Manipur earlier had only nine districts. But, in 2016, the then Congress Government created seven new districts amid opposition by the Nagas. The Home Department will oversee the rationalization of necessary staff and VDF requirements, and VDF personnel will now be transferable, added the spokesperson.

Furthermore, the Cabinet intends to scrutinise the recruitment process within the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, with a committee tasked to investigate any irregularities; recruitment found to be irregular will be scrapped.

Additionally, the Transport Department will initiate auctions for fancy vehicle registration numbers through the EVAHAN portal, while the Panchayati Raj Department will create new posts. Moreover, crucial decisions regarding land allocation for airport expansion and other developments were also finalised.
