Local residents of Ningthem Pukhri Mapal staged a sit-in protest against the physical assault and intimidation to one Athokpam Chinglemba of Ningthem Pukhri Mapal by unidentified armed miscreants, at the local community hall on Tuesday.
Speaking on the sideline of the protest organised jointly by Nupi Khunnai Chaokhat Kanglup, Ayangleima Women's Welfare Association and League of Callow Patriots, Chinglemba's wife Athokpam ongbi Babita stated that her husband is a social worker and has been working for the welfare of the people.
He has been taking various responsibilities and extending all possible help in the present conflict also.
However, on Monday around 12.40 pm, some unidentified armed miscreants physically assaulted her husband and even threatened using gun, she denounced.
Urging those concerned to give reasons for such assault, she said that sorting the differences through dialogues and coming to an understanding peacefully instead of fighting against another is the right approach amidst the present unrest that engulfed the state.
She also condemned the gun culture.
