Imphal, September 12 2020:
The All Manipur Nupi Marup (AMNM) has stated that political will is needed to curb the ever-increasing cases of crime against women and children in the State.
In a statement, AMNM stated that the Government should regularly monitor if the programmes they had launched to empower, protect women, and children are serving its intended purposes.
Saying that women are still vulnerable to cruelty even today though people have been demanding the Government to protect them for many years, the statement added that looking back at the many horrible social evils that targeted women give goose-pimples even today.
Though instances of targeting women and minor by people with sinister thoughts are reported frequently from the State, justice is rarely delivered to the victims, AMNM claimed.
It also reminded that the people of Manipur are waiting, charge-sheeting of the suspects involved in the Mayang Imphal incident of September 2, as per the assurance given by the Chief Minister himself.
Sometimes, people take their own course of actions to deliver justice to victims of social evils because of the lack of faith in the proceedings of the Govt and authorities concerned, the body opined adding that with political will curbing crimes against women and children is possible.
