Imphal, March 12 2013:
Various bodies including ADC Chandel, KSO, KIM, ZSP, MCM and United Zou Organisation have registered strong condemnations over the grenade attack at the residence of Lhukhosei Zou, Chairman of ADC Chandel yesterday by unidentified miscreants at Moreh.
Expressing shock at the bomb attack at the residence of Chandel ADC Chairman at Moreh Ward No III which injured one Dounglen Zou, members of Chandel ADC, in a meeting held today strongly condemned the attack.
Urging the State Government to immediately book the culprits, the ADC members also urged all concerned not to repeat such acts in future.
While expressing solidarity to the Chairman, the ADC members also wished peace in his family and speedy recovery of the injured.
A statement issued by the Vice-Chairman of ADC Chandel, Langhu Langhring categorically stated the ADC members are purely for the welfare and development of the public of Chandel district.
Meanwhile, the United Zou Organisation (UZO), while strongly condemning the bomb attack at the residence of Lhukhosei Zou yesterday, demanded all concerned to clarify the matter at the earliest while appealing to refrain from such acts in future.
At the same time, the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) & Kuki Students' Organisation, General Hqs also strongly condemned yesterday's bomb attack on ADC Chandel, Chairman Lhukhosei Zou at his residence Moreh Ward No.III .
KIM & KSO felt really unfortunate that Moreh town in the last couple of months have become a victim of perpetual bomb attacks, which has now rendered wide speculations that these attacks could have also been the handiwork of State agencies.
Last year, when the State Government deployed police commandos in the border town, Moreh denizens openly resisted deploying of police commandos in the town saying "enough forces, including Assam Rifles, Manipur Police and Manipur Rifles are already posted at Moreh, there is no need for police commandos." However, the state justified on the pretext of enhancing law & order situation of the town, which is ironical to what we have witnessed today.
KSO and KIM appealed the Government and the local authority to leave no stone unturned to nab the culprit and the police forces should beef up security and intelligence network in the town to maintain rule of law while demanding clarification from the perpetrators concerned.
Should this be about monetary demand or dispute, the people or the party involved is advice to stop immediately as this act of injustice has no place in civilized society.
Condemning the bomb attack, the Meitei Council Moreh also appealed all concerned to refrain from such attacks in future.
The Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi Joint Hqs, Chandel; the Mantuang Phungpi Organisation, Sugnu Block and All Tribal Women Organisation, Chandel have also condemned the bomb attack.
