Imphal, September 01 2015:
Taking serious note of the unfortunate incidents that took place yesterday in Churachandpur and Sadar Hills, the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) has appeal-ed to all to maintain calm and refrain from taking the law into one's hands.
The HAC held an urgent meeting today with its Chairman Dr Chaltonlien Amo in the chair.
The meeting discussed about the three Bills passed by the State Assembly yesterday and the violent reactions which erupted there- after.
One HAC Member told The Sangai Express that the three Bills passed yesterday do not contain anything which may impinge upon the interests of tribal people and the violent reactions which erupted yesterday was a result of misunderstanding.
The meeting resolved to urge the Government to invite all stake holders, clarify the doubts of the citizens of hill areas and bring peace at the earliest.
The meeting also condoled the unfortunate loss of lives and observed silence for two minutes in honour of the departed souls.
The meeting further decided to urge the Government to provide all possible assistance to the families whose near and dear ones have been killed or injured and properties destroyed in the mob violence.
