Imphal, September 24 2023:
Meira Paibis of Yorbung, Itham Nungoi, Nungoi and Pundongbam spent Saturday night at Yorbung Primary School, protesting any attempt to station central forces in the school campus.
In this regard, Ima Thambal Lairembi Nupi Kanglup secretary Ngairangbam Bidyarani said that some central forces personnel came to Yorbung Primary School on Saturday to check if they could be stationed at the school.
She stated that no central forces can be deployed at the school as there is no violent incident happening in the area and most of the displaced people are taking refuge in the relief camp set up there.
Thus, the central forces should not be stationed at the location so as to prevent mass hysteria from setting in amongst the locals, she added.
She further informed that a request for non-deployment of central forces in the area has been forwarded to Imphal East district SP, Lamlai AC MLA and other authorities concerned.
