Imphal, August 22: The Governor-in-Council in Manipur on Thursday approved a long-standing demand of the state police by increasing the monthly ration allowance from Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500 per head, effective from September 1, 2025.
The revised allowance will cover personnel across all units of the Manipur Police, including the India Reserve Battalion, Civil Police, Manipur Police Telecommunication Organisation, Central Motor Transport Workshop, and Village Defence Force, according to a government statement.
Officials said the move is a significant welfare measure aimed at boosting morale among police personnel who have continued to serve with dedication amid prolonged periods of unrest and heightened security challenges in the state.
The government acknowledged the critical role of police forces in maintaining law and order, stating that their sustained efforts have contributed to a marked improvement in Manipur’s security environment. The Manipur Police Department expressed gratitude to the state administration for recognising the sacrifices of its personnel, describing the sanction of the enhanced ration allowance as a meaningful initiative for their welfare.
