Vigil up in Manipur over influx
- Minority group seeks refuge for Rohingyas, ILP panel vocal against shelter
The Telegraph | Khelen Thokchom | Imphal, Sept. 11:
Manipur police have tightened vigil along the Manipur-Myanmar border to check possible influx from the neighbouring country after clashes between militants of the minority Rohingya community and government forces last month triggered an exodus.
Mohammad Jalal, president of the All Manipur Muslim Organisations Coordinating Committee, said if people from Myanmar's troubled region arrive in the state, they should be given shelter with UN refugee status so that they can return after the situation normalises.
On the other hand, the Joint Committee on Inner-Line Permit System, a conglomerate of citizens, demanded that the state government be alert and not allow trouble in the state as a result of fleeing refugees entering Manipur.
