Imphal, August 26 2022:
Expressing deep concern over recent spike in crimes against women and children in the state, All Manipur Nupi Marup has categorically stated that it was a big mistake of the government that crime against weaker sections of the society has increased in recent past.
In a statement, All Manipur Nupi Marup said that the organisation in coordination with the people has been conducting awareness programmes and public meetings towards ensuring equal rights for both men and women.
However, majority of general population are still unaware of equal rights for men and women and accordingly crime against women and children continues unabated in the state.
The organisation will not remain silent on the increasing cases of rape, murder, molestation and torture of women in the state, it said, adding that registration of cases of crimes against women remains low even after establishment of women police station.
The organisation then appealed to the police department to initiate prompt necessary action on cases relating to crime against women and children.
