Imphal, May 22 2023:
Expressing concern over the restive situation in the state, Akhil Bharatiya Hind Kranti (ABHK), Mani-pur has appealed to the au-thority concerned to deploy security forces in every nook and corner of the state to en-sure safety of all and restore normalcy.
Addressing media persons at Manipur Press Club here on Monday, ABHK Manipur president M Dhanabir said that the tense situation in the state seems to be increasing day-by-day with fresh vio-lence breaking out in Check-on area of Imphal East dis-trict where women vendors from different communities were barred from carrying out businesses in the Tribal Market on Monday.
While urging the govern-ment authorities to shift Ku-kis settling in Imphal to safer locations, M Dhanabir said that since the situation is still very tense, there is the need to deploy security forces in every part of the state includ-ing Moreh, Churachandpur and Kangpokpi in adequate numbers.
He also expressed disap-pointment over the fact that roads have been blocked at eight different points along Imphal-Dimapur road which is not only the road for one particular community but lifeline of all the people.
Therefore, there is the need to deploy highway protection force and provide adequate security along the national highways.
Dhanabir also urged the state government to look into the shortage of relief materials being experienced in differ-ent relief camps opened and said that the party's national leaders will be meeting the PM and the Home Minister to end the riot and bring peace in the state.
The party will also be submitting a memorandum in this regard to the PM and HM .
