Later on, it was retaliated by the Meitei/Meetei community in the valley areas of Manipur", said a release issued by RJSP Manipur Unit.

Stating that many innocent people are still suffering due, the Unit urged both the communities to forget & forgo past mistakes as it happened due to anger against State Government's policy and programmes.
