Imphal, June 26 2023:
To restore peace and normalcy in the strife-torn State which has witnessed rampant violence since May 3, prayers and other oblations were offered at the sacred site of Konthoujam Lairembi yesterday night.
A large number of people from Konthoujam village took part in the event organised by People Protection Committee (PPC) Konthoujam to pray for restoration of peace in Manipur, said a release issued by PPC.
PPC shared that since the conflict began on May 3 last, armed Kuki militants from neighbouring country Myanmar have killed many innocent civilians and burnt down Meitei/ Meetei villages across the State.
The committee continued that amid all the chaos, the blocking of National Highways has added to the suffering of the people who are facing difficulties to acquire essential commodities and life saving drugs.
"With the belief that separate administration cannot bring peace in Manipur, a large number of people from Konthoujam stayed the night and prayed to Konthoujam Lairembi for peaceful co-existence of all the communities who have been living in the State for ages under a single administration", it concluded.
