IMPHAL, July 15: The Manipur government will soon start cancellation of licenses of those private security agencies in the state which do not fulfill the criteria of Private Security Agency Regulation Act (PSARA), 2005.

The officer said that there is a growing demand for private security agencies in the state as the government securities and police cannot monitor or safeguard all the businesses and other industrial establishments which are rapidly increasing with time.

He said that a total of 25 private security agencies are registered to the Manipur Home department. He questioned whether all of these agencies have necessary infrastructures like proper training grounds and adhere to other eligibility required in the PSARA, 2005.

“In order to strictly implement the PSARA, 2005, the government will soon start taking up necessary steps such as checking the background of the private security agencies in the state. The licenses of those agencies which do not fulfill the criteria given in the Act will be cancelled”, Veto Singh asserted.

While stating the importance of implementing the regulation in the state, the Joint Secretary pointed out that PSARA is a central government act enacted in 2005 to govern/control private security agencies and operate under a legal framework.
