According to police, the IDPs, who were staying in a relief camp near Sajiwa in Imphal East district, moved towards Doilaithabi to return to their native villages on Wednesday.
"Since Dolaithabi lies in a sensitive fringe zone and had witnessed several attacks from neighbouring hill areas of Kangpokpi district when ethnic violence broke out in May 2023, the IDPs were stopped near Pukhao Tezpur, around 2.5 km from Dolaithabi, to prevent any untoward incident," a senior police officer said.
As per sources, adequate security measures have been put in place, and one company of women CRPF personnel has also been deployed.
The overall law and order situation is being closely monitored by senior officers to ensure continued stability, he said.
The district administration and senior police officers talked with local leaders on the issue.

For third day in a row, Delhi schools get hoax bomb threat emails
For the third consecutive day on Wednesday, seven schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails in the morning, prompting authorities to conduct search operations on the premises. All the threats turned out to be a hoax. Delhi Fire Service (DFS) officials said the St Thomas School in Dwarka called them to notify about the threat at 5.26 am, followed by Vasant Valley in Vasant Kunj at 6.30 am, Richmond Global School in Paschim Vihar at 8.11 am, and Mother International in Hauz Khas at 8.12 am. One fire tender was sent to each school. Similar threats were also received by two branches of Prudence School located in Ashok Vihar and Pirtampura, as well as Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodhi Estate, which promptly shut down the school for a day. The day also saw the police briefly apprehending a 12-year-old boy for allegedly sending fake bomb threats to St Stephen's College and St Thomas School on Tuesday. The police said the boy, a student of a private school, was apprehended in South Delhi, from where he had sent the emails. He was picked up and later released after counseling. 'When he sent the email, his parents were out of the city… During counseling, the boy revealed that he wanted the schools to be shut down and randomly tagged the email IDs of the college and the school,' a source in the police said. Similar threat emails were received on Monday by three Delhi schools – the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) School in Rohini's Sector 14, the Navy School in Chanakyapuri, and another CRPF School in Dwarka's Sector 16. Sources said the contents of the emails are the same, and the sender is also suspected to be one person. The email read, 'Good Morning… Explosive devices are hidden inside backpacks and placed around the classrooms of the school. This is extremely serious. You will all pay for your sins. Roadkill and Benji are the persons responsible for this bloodbath. Release our names to the press/media.' According to an officer, Wednesday's email was suspected to have been sent through VPN (Virtual Private Network), and the sender used the Tuta Mail service provider based in Germany. The police said they would write to Tuta Mail seeking details of the user. An officer said that legal action is being pursued, and the cyber units of the respective district police are conducting an inquiry into the bomb threats in their areas. Since last May, several schools in the Capital have been receiving similar hoax threats. More than 200 schools received bomb threats on their official email IDs in May 2024. Soon after, similar emails were sent to several hospitals, colleges, and the Delhi Airport. In May this year, Udyog Bhawan at the Central Secretariat had received a bomb threat via email, triggering extensive checking that ultimately resulted in the building being declared safe. In June, a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Mumbai had received a bomb threat after an airline crew member discovered a paper that said, 'Bomb in flight Air India 2948, Air India 171' written on it. However, checks by the DFS and the Central Industrial Security Force revealed the threat to be a hoax.
