The five points raised through the memorandum are-- shifting the CRPF troops presently stationed at Kanto Sabal to Leima-khong Chingmang entry point and Ingourok Ching-mang; setting up a permanent IRB post at the spot where houses were burnt down and a commando team is currently deployed; ensuring free movement on the road leading to the ex-servicemen colony; preventing Kukis from creating any disturbance or taking out rallies in areas covered by Sekmai police station and shifting the 18th Punjab Regiment's gate post from its present location to the entry point of ex-servicemen colony.

The Chief Minister reportedly assured that he would look into the demands and work to translate them into action.
