The Indian Medical Association, Manipur State Branch (IMA-MSB) has appealed to the public to stop spreading false rumours in view of rumours going around that Healthcare Providers (Nurses and Doctors) posted in different parts of the State are being manhandled, raped and murdered.
The IMA-MSB in a statement issued by its president Dr RK Lenin and State secretary Dr James Elangbam appealed to all citizens of Manipur irrespective of ethnicity to maintain calm, peace and handle the current situation with maturity during this period of crisis in Manipur following the Tribal Solidarity March in Churachandpur since May 3 last.
Further, the Association appealed to all citizens to protect the Healthcare workers in the State and allow them to dispense with their emergency duties to look after the injured in the hospitals and clinics.
The Association also expressed belief that the Government will take stringent steps to control the situation at the earliest and bring back normalcy in the State.
