Imphal, November 08 2023:
Locals of Wangkhei AC on Wednesday staged sit-in protest at the community hall of Citizens' Club, Soibam Leikai condemning the attack by unknown miscreants on a truck transporting NFSA rice for the constituency on Tuesday.
Speaking on the sidelines, Peace Committee Wangkhei Kendra advisor Haji Arafat strongly condemned the incident which took place at Soiba Leikai Meri Leirak Machir wherein the miscreants not only fired several rounds at the truck but also snatched the mobile phone of the driver.
He informed that the people have been taking less rice from the Fair Price Shop agents so as to donate the remaining rice to the relief camps.
As such, he urged for distributing the three-month quota of rice for the constituency at the earliest, while appealing to all concerned not to repeat such fearful acts against drivers.
During the sit-in, the protestors also observed a few minutes of silence as a mark of respect to all those who have died for the cause of defending the integrity of Manipur during the ongoing conflict in the state.
