She highlighted that the outbreak of the communal conflict followed by unprecedented acts of violence have not only affected the warring communities but all the communities in the State.

Though the State is undergoing a tough phase, this conflict has taught important lessons on the importance of preserving unity and integrity and extending humanitarian aid to one another at times of need.

Amid this difficult situation, it is highly important that the elders and parents guide the youths towards the righteous path to ensure that they do not resort to rebellious acts, she added.

She appealed to all to make cohesive efforts to pave the way for peace and normalcy for a better future for the upcoming youths who have been impacted by the tragic communal crisis.
