IMPHAL, Apr 15 : Even as the office of the State Chief Electoral Officer has written to the Election Commission of India that NSCN (IM) cadres may be involved in the election process by supporting PDA candidate Mani Charenamei, security cover for BJP candidate Loli Adanee has been beefed up following instructions from the Union Home Ministry.

In the memorandum Ibomcha maintained that the alteration of areas, boundaries or names of existing States on the basis of religion, caste, community, race etc is ultra vires and illegal.
Simultaneously, the DC concerned in his inquiry report has stated that Mani Charenamei did not take any permission from the district administration to hold the election campaign at Synod Hall, Churachandpur on April 8.
