Imphal, December 02, 2014:
Universal Mothers' Organisation (UMO) has apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the necessity to set up Highway Protection Force to take care of the highway against the backdrop of the reported disturbances caused to movements by armed persons and frequent highway blockade imposed by various organisations.
UMO submitted a memo to the PM during his visit to the State on Nov 30. Urging the PM to expedite finalisation of the site for the Sports university in the State so that construction may be started within 2014-15, the UMO memo suggested that the university be set up at the agricultural wasteland of Koutruk, Senjam Chirang and Senjam Khunou.
Removal of AFSPA from Manipur, preservation of land of ancient deities and setting up of fast track courts to try cases of sexual offences against women are the other demands raised by the UMO to the PM.
