The ongoing conflict must be reasonably resolved with comprehensive crushing of instinct of illegal immigrants and their deportation or else entire indigenous communities of Manipur will be affected in near future even to the extinction of some indigenous communities, he said.

According to Yk Dhiren, a common thought for all the indigenous communities settling together with harmony amidst the crisis need to be developed.

In this regard, UCM will communicate with community leaders living in and outside Manipur soon and sit together.

Apart from this, UCM will start discussion from this month on saving Manipur with collective understanding on all issues including internal and external interferences on the present crisis.
