Imphal, May 24 2023:
The Forum for Restoration of Peace is all set to take out a peace rally under the banner "For Restoration of Peace" in Imphal on May 30 .
The resolution to hold the peace rally was taken during a consultative meeting of Nagas and Meetei Pangals living in Imphal at Tarung Community Hall in Thangmeiband today.
At the function, Forum convenor Ashang Kasar said that the proposed rally will be organised by Nagas and Meetei Pangals living in Imphal.
He said that the route and time of the rally will be announced after obtaining due permission from the Government.
"We shouldn't find fault in others during this restive situation but work together to restore normalcy in the State," Ashang Kasar said and appealed to the Government to take up necessary action.
Acts of violence continue to be reported from different parts of the State even today since the eruption of ethnic conflict on May 3, he said and asked why is the Central Government not able to control the tense situation in Manipur till date.
He then sought immediate intervention of the Central leaders to defuse the tension in the State.
Since the deployment of large companies of Central security forces could not bring the law and situation under control, the Governor, the Chief Minister and authorities concerned must consider holding dialogue with community leaders to pave a path for peace, Ashang Kasar said and added that holding dialogue with the community leaders may be more productive in restoring normalcy.
He also appealed to all the people of hill and valley districts to give priority on restoring normalcy.
