As Manipur continues to battle a fresh round of violence, the Union Home Ministry today repatriated top Srinagar police official Rakesh Balwal to the northeastern state. Fresh violence erupted in Manipur this week over the brutal killings of two minors who went missing in July. Mr Balwal, a 2012-batch IPS officer, is of Manipur cadre posted in Jammu and Kashmir. Centre has ordered Mr Balwal's premature repatriation to send him to the northeastern state that has been gripped with violence since May this year.
