Imphal/Thoubal, August 31 2023:
CCIAN Forum Peace Committee has extended relief items to the village volunteers of Singda Kadangband Part I today.
The relief items include three bags of rice, different kinds of lentils, one onion bag, three kgs of chilli, one tin of cooking oil and half a bag of salt.
During the relief initiative, a meira paibi from Kadangband Part I by the name of Thoudam (Ongbi) Jamuna narrated the challenges faced by the villagers as a result of the conflict.
She conveyed that as their village is located in the foothills, it has suffered the brunt of Kuki attacks and children are deprived of education.

As soon as night falls, the Kuki militants start firing at the village and in many instances people have been injured while trying to escape the onslaught of gunfire, she said.
Another aspect of the conflict is that it has made many agricultural areas unsafe for cultivation.
As a majority of the villagers are farmers, this will pose serious problems next year in terms of their economic condition, she added.
When the suffering of the people has reached such great heights, she asked the State Government why it has continued to remain as a mere spectator.
Separately, womenfolk from the surrounding areas of Heirok Part II Keithel have rendered financial aid to Mangsatabam Sanathoi Meitei (19) from Leimakhong Mapal Mamang Leikai of Imphal East who lost vision in his right eye due to injuries sustained during the Khamenlok attack of June 13 .
The womenfolk team offered words of encouragement to Sanathoi with the assurance that they will continue to offer help to those who have been injured in the conflict.
Further, they expressed discontent with the August 29 Assembly session and called for a fresh Assembly session at the earliest.
