Thoubal, September 10 2023:
Decrying the use of excessive force and live rounds by Assam Rifles in dealing with the agitating crowd at Pallel on September 8, the Panjao Pan Ngak Committee organised a sit-in protest at Kakching Panjao today.
Speaking by the sideline of the protest, social worker Kshetrimayum Kennedy strongly condemned the incident of September 8 wherein the Assam Rifles fired live rounds at an agitating crowd who were demanding the removal of Assam Rifles barricade at Unapal Lamkhai along the Imphal to Moreh road.

This rampant firing led to the deaths of two individuals, namely, Yengkhom Jiten from Kakching and Soibam Nanao from Salungpham while eleven others suffered bullet injuries.
Altogether 80 persons were injured during the confrontation with AR.
Thus, he urged the State and Central Governments to ensure immediate withdrawal of the Assam Rifles from the soil of Manipur, abrogation of SoO pact for all Kuki militant groups who have violated the ground rules and implementation of NRC in the State.
Protestors at today's sit-in protest wielded many placards with messages such as "Go back Assam Rifles", "We condemn killing of civilians by Assam Rifles", "Withdraw Assam Rifles", "We condemn use of excessive force on civilians by Assam Rifles" etc and raised many slogans to the same effect as well.
