Thoubal, April 15 2026: The Wangjing Apunba Meira Paibi Lup has appealed to elected representatives of Manipur to unite and work collectively tn address the suffering of the people and restore peace in the State.

The appeal was made by the president of the Lup.

Laishram Shanti Devi, during a massive sit-in protest held on Wednesday at Wangjing-Heirok Lamkhai, Irabot Square, condemning the inhumane bomb attack at Tronglaobi that claimed the lives of two innocent children.

The protest witnessed participation from Meira Paibi groups from various localities of Wangjing, along with women vendors from Wangjing Lamding Keithel (Old and New) .

Demonstrators held placards with slogans such as "We Condemn Tronglaobi and Genmol incident", "Stop Killing Innocent Civilians", "We Want to Live in Peace", "Finish Border Fencing", and "Restore Free Movement on Highways" .

Speaking on the occasion, Shanti Devi said that the people of the State have been enduring hardship and distress since the outbreak of ethnic violence, which is now nearing three years.

She expressed concern that despite repeated incidents of violence and loss of lives, both the Government of India and the State Government have allegedly failed to take decisive action.

She urged the authorities to act immediately and apprehend those responsible for the killing of the children at Tronglaobi.

Following the protest, members of the Wangjing Apunba Meira Paibi Lup submitted a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister, Yumnam Khemchand, through Wangjing Assembly Constituency MLA Paonam Brojen.

The memorandum outlined several key demands, including the arrest and punishment of those involved in the killing of the two children, a judicial inquiry into the alleged indiscriminate firing by CRPF personnel that resulted in the death of three civilians and injuries to many others, and the formulation of policies to identify and deport illegal immigrants.

The organisation also called for the convening of an Assembly session by the Speaker of the Manipur Legislative Assembly, restoration of free movement along national highways, implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) prior to the census, and immediate steps to restore peace and normalcy in the State.
