Restore Chassad village to its normal condition
Hmarkhawlien, 18th March, 2020
The Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) is profoundly hurt and touched at the agony of innocent women and children following the torching of around 150 houses at Chassad village, Kamjong district in the state of Manipur by a mob of arsonists due to misunderstanding between two villages on March 16, 2020.
The HSA condemns such incident which has rendered so many homeless and it would never welcome the repetition of such arson in future.
We urge the government to take immediate care of the affected families including women and children who have been rendered homeless in the process.
The government is urged upon to build shelters for all those whose houses were gutted and to rebuild school and Aganwadi center besides providing compensation for property lost in the incident.
We also urge the government to deploy strong security force in the vulnerable areas so that none can use this unfortunate incident to vitiate the tense atmosphere further.
The HSA lauds the efforts of the Government of Manipur and all the civil society organizations who have swiftly taken steps for restoration of peace, harmony and tranquility in the region.
HSA also appeals to the state government to do its utmost, at the earliest, for the restoration of the Chassad village to its normal condition.
