Imphal, July 03 2015 :
Surrendered cadres of different underground groups have urged the legislators of the State to discuss the issues pertaining to their rehabilitation during the ongoing Assembly session.
Surrendered cadres of KYKL, UNLF and PLA have formed a body known as Poireilomba to press their demands.
Speaking to reporters at Manipur Press Club, Poireilomba president Basanta alias Fighter said that the State Government promised them to provide employment, stipend and medical expenses when they laid down arms.
However, they have been leading a distressful life as these promises have not been translated into action till date, he said.
Urging the Government to provide them entitled benefits and livelihood at the earliest, Basanta said that they are now ready to resort to agitations if this issue is not discussed in the ongoing Assembly session.
