He added that a nine-point Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Government of Manipur, the North Frontier Railways and the affected villagers with regards to the incident, the loss of lives and properties on July 20, 2022 .
However, the terms of the memorandum have not been fulfilled so far, he rued.
He maintained that they had not yet received any positive response from the relevant authorities despite serving several ultimatums.
The villagers had also resorted to imposing indefinite shutdowns to protest against the nonfulfillment of their demands, he added.
As a part of the first anniversary observation ceremony, the pastor of Makhuam-5 Baptist Church led a silent mass prayer for all the departed souls lost in the tragedy to rest in peace.
