It is under this scheme, that the CCTNS will also be put up in Manipur.
Towards this end, a Memorandum of Understanding is to be inked between the State Government and the Union Home Ministry tomorrow (September 30), said N Biren.
The Centre is to bear the full cost of installing the hi-tech gadgets, said the spokesman and added that Manipur may receive anywhere between Rs 40 to 50 crores for installing the system.
For the first phase the Centre has sanctioned Rs 13 crores to Manipur, said N Biren.
The system will help the Police Headquarters to get connected with its units as well as with police stations outside the State.
Apart from bearing the cost of the system, the Centre will also bear the expenses of installing it as well as in training the personnel for operating it.
Personnel from the existing Police Department will be chosen to operate the state of the art gadget, informed the spokesman.
Apart from installing the system, the Cabinet also decided to create 27 posts of Constable drivers in the Police Department.
The Cabinet also decided to change the posts of 289 Constables to Constable drivers and also to revive the earlier decision to recruit 50 Constable drivers. The decision to recruit the 50 Constable drivers had to be rolled back due the ban on recruitment.
The 289 drivers will be absorbed from the newly recruited Constables or from those whose recruitment results are awaited.
The relaxation of the ban on recruitment is only for the Home Department not for other departments.
The Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister also minutely discussed the prevailing situation in the State as well as the breakdown in the academic atmosphere, said Biren.
