Kakching, January 16 2023:
Denouncing the heinous act of attempting to kill Laimanai Youth Club Yairipok (LYCY) president by one Oinam Paiso, a sit-in protest was staged by the people of Yairipok Laimanai village demanding befitting action against the culprit and solving the issue at the earliest.
The sit-in protest agitation was organised by the JAC Against Oinam Ongbi RK Manileima Devi Imphal East and LYCY.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the protest, JAC co-convener Pukhrihongbam Araba Meetei informed that following an issue over removing piled up mud by LYCY Club along the road adjacent to the house of Oinam Manileima on September 28, 2022, her family members filed a case in the court against 10 members of the club.
Consequently, a JAC was formed as a third party and tried to settle the matter.
However, on Sunday, Oinam Paiso, who is a member of Manileima's family came with a knife and tried to kill LYCY president Konsam Sanjitkumar.
Reacting to the incident, people of the village came out in large number and staged the sit-in protest, he said.
Araba Meetei, while urging the authority concerned to solve the issue, also demanded that Paiso be arrested and awarded stringent punishment.
The accused should also not be granted bail before an amicable solution is brought about on the issue, Araba added.
