Many have lost their lives, houses with sacred seats of Lainingthou and worship sites have been torched.
In view of the tumultuous state of affairs, the Loishang has organised the worship ceremony to restore peace in Manipur, she added.
Maintaining that in olden days, Meiteis armed with 'phisa tem' drove out the enemy and women in the past used this tool as a weapon during battles, she conveyed that the womenfolk today had offered prayers while holding the 'phisa tem' to recall the ancient tradition.
She also added that the Selloi Apunba Sintha Lup was constituted as a separate wing of the Ima Leishem Inat Loishang.
Further, she appealed to the Government to bring an end to the hardships faced by the people by resolving the conflict.
