Imphal, April 19 2015 :
Concerned over the increasing cases of "mob justice" in Manipur in recent times, the Human Rights Initiative (HRI) on Sunday demanded that people involved in such incidents must be punished.
A statement released by HRI also demanded that the State Government take steps to maintain the rule of law to ensure that order, peace and stability prevail in the State.
It urged the State Government to ensure proper functioning of all public grievances redressal forums like the State Human Rights Commission and State Information Commission.
HRI dubbed the incumbent Government a "failed Government" and worried over what it said taking the laws into hands by various NGOs, students and civil society groups in Manipur in the present scenario.
It alleged that the criminal justice system in the State has totally failed as the law enforcing agencies are concentrating only on the practice of bribery.
