Bishnupur, May 27 2023:
Inmates of Regional Water Sports Complex Laisoi relief camp organised a sit-in protest today against the lack of help from the State Government and calling for abrogation of the SoO pact.
It may be noted that displaced families from Torbung, Bangla etc under Churachandpur district are seeking shelter at the Regional Water Sports Complex Laisoi relief camp.
Speaking by the sideline of the protest, an unnamed inmate stated that the State Government must meet the basic necessities of the inmates at all relief camps in a transparent manner.
Calling for the withdrawal of SoO pact, the inmate questioned why security forces are not guarding the properties and homesteads of displaced Meitei families.
Further, she demanded that displaced Meitei families be resettled at their homes within 48 hours and be provided with adequate security.
The protestors wielded placards with messages such as "We want peace", "No divide and rule policy", "Withdraw Central Paramilitary Force from Manipur" etc among others.
