Imphal, May 14 2015 :
A Cabinet meeting held this evening has decided to take up the issue of violation of ground rules by groups under SoO pact with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
The Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister O Ibobi reviewed the law and order situation arising out of the murder of two labourers by KRF on May 12 and demise of one person due to injuries inflicted by supporters of the post-murder agitation today.
The Cabinet strongly condemned the killing of innocent persons and has appealed to the people of all communities not to get provoked and maintain peace.
The Cabinet has also unanimously condemned the burning down of places of worship like churches, temples and mosques.
The killing of innocent labourers by KRF should not be attributed to entire community as it is done by a militant group.
The State Cabinet also decided to sanction ex-gratia of Rs five lakh each to the three persons who have been killed and Rs one lakh to the persons who suffered serious injuries and Rs 20,000 to persons with minor injury.
The Cabinet further appealed to all the civil society organisations of both the communities to make conscious efforts to defuse the tension and bring about mutual understanding to restore normalcy in the State.
