Imphal, June 20 2024:
A team of Federation of Civil Society Organisations (FOCS), Manipur Women's Front (MWF) and media organisations left Imphal for Jiribam today to assess and support the people who have been affected by the recent surge of violence in the district.
In a release, FOCS informed that the recent outbreak of violence in Jiribam following the killing of one Soibam Saratkumar on June 6 and subsequent torching of houses belonging to the Meitei community in Borobekra and other places by Kuki militants have forced hundreds of people to take refuge in relief camps.
The 6-member team which consists of two journalists will visit the relief camps to provide vital aid.
They will also assess the situation and take necessary steps to address the grievances of the displaced victims with the assistance of the District Administration and Government.
