Thoubal, July 20 2023: A sit-in protest was staged today at Khongjom Keithel against the indifference of the Central Government upon the suffering of the people of the State.

The State has been in a mayhem ever since the unfortunate communal clash which erupted on May 3 last.

The protestors strongly denounced the inability of the Central and State Government to resolve the crisis which has adversely affected thousands of Meiteis.

The Meiteis have been hit hard by unabated atrocities of Kuki militants and those who are carrying out heinous acts against the backdrop of the demand for a 'separate administration', added the protestors.

Participating in the protest which was organised by the Coordination Committee Khongjom Circle, a protester expressed the desire to maintain peaceful co-existence among the various ethnic communities.

She went on to state that if the Government is unable to take up measures for the rehabilitation of the displaced people and to protect the innocent civilians of Manipur, then let the State return to pre-merger status.

Placards which read 'No Separate Administration', 'Implement NRC', 'Safeguard territorial integrity of Manipur' etc were used during the protest and similar slogans were raised by the protestors.
