Kakching, May 19 2023:
Mayanglanbam MLA Dr Yumnam Radheshyam has stated that the demand for 'Separate Administration' raised by 10 Kuki MLAs is not only unadvisable but also untenable.
Speaking on the side-lines of distributing essen-tial items to various relief camps opened at Hiyanglam assembly constituency, Dr Radheshyam opined that the 10 MLA could have per-ceived the demand in fit of anger, resentment or under duress.
However, such demand is not acceptable as Mani-pur's integrity cannot be compromised and age-old hill-valley bond shall have to be strengthened at any cost, he stressed, while appealing to all MLA be it Meetei or Kuki to exercise restraint and discharge their duty as the elected people's representative by working for peace and normalcy.

Radheshyam also advised the Kuki MLAs to withdraw their demand and guide the public towards peace rather than issuing provocative statements.
The MLA also informed that about 800 people from mainly Sugnu and Serou are taking shelter in relief camps opened at Lang-meidong Maning Leikai, Mamang Leikai, Yangdong, Elangkhanpokpi, Thongjao, Laimanai, Lamjao, Hiyan-glam, Sekmaijin, etc., under Hiyanglam AC.
