Imphal, June 15 2013 :
Women Action for Development (WAD) expressed gratefulness for bringing justice to the hapless UMorok trader who was allegedly gang-raped on March 22 last year near Kakyai Primary School in Irom Meijrao, within a spell of eight months through speedy trial by the Court of Law.
Pointing out that this gang-rape case creates history for the quickest trial in delivering justice among all crimes against women cases so far by the Court of Law in Manipur, a statement issued by WAD however expressed deep shock over the recent cases that happened in the last 2 to 3 days wherein a 34 year-old Lohiya was shot by her husband with his own license gun and a 45 years old women was stabbed by her husband at Hatta Golabati yesterday at around 6 pm.
The crime graph for domestic violence and crimes against women in the state is still surging.
WAD appealed the Chief Minister and MLAs to take the issue seriously and discuss the rising crime against women in the ongoing session of the Manipur legislative Assembly.
