Imphal, November 08 2024: The Thadou Community International (TCI) has strongly condemned the heinous attack on Zairawn village under Jiribam district on the night of November 7 by suspected Meitei militants.

This unjustifiable act of violence is unacceptable and has caused immense harm to the delicate law and order situation in the area, the TCI said in a statement.

"We are utterly appalled and saddened to learn that in the gruesome attack, Mrs.Zosangkim, a mother of three children, belonging to the Hmar tribe and a resident of Zairawn village was brutally killed", it said.

"We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and stand in solidarity with Zairawn villagers" it added.

The TCI also urged the authorities to take immediate action to bring the perpetrators to justice without fail and to ensure the safety and security of the village.

Peace agreement and peace process must be kept and maintained by all to bring lasting peace and normalcy in the interest of all, it said.

"As a society, we must stop falling prey to the vested interest and evil agenda of a few, who probably think they benefit from violence at the cost of innocent lives.

We all need to reflect and ask what benefit this violence brings to our society in any manner", the TCI said.

The longer this violence lingers, it will only bring more harm to the affected people who are already impoverished and lacking in many aspects of life and development, it continued.

Strong measures must be taken to prevent such attacks in the future by deploying security forces in key locations, it added.
