Imphal, September 04 2023:
Apropos to its previous cautionary of driving out the central forces deployed in Phougakchao Ikhai area if the barricades set up on the road by the forces are not removed by August 30; Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has announced that it along with people would be driving away the central forces from the area and across Torbung from 11am on September 6.Addressing a press meet held at its Lamphel office on Monday evening, COCOMI media coordinator Thokchom Somorendro recounted the Committee's previous cautionary, as mentioned above, which both the central and state governments failed to respond to positively.
As such, COCOMI will be driving out the central forces across Torbung on September 6 around 11 am, he informed and appealed to the people to participate in the same.
If any unwanted consequences result from the movement on September 6, both the central and state governments will be held responsible, he added.
Meanwhile, regarding the people's call for all CSOs to unite, he said that the Committee welcomes the suggestion and invited other CSOs for putting the same into action.
He further invited other CSOs to come to COCOMI and discuss the best steps that could be taken.
COCOMI stands by its demands for uprooting all Chin narco-terrorists and Kuki militants from Manipur and will continue to do so until all the demands are met, Somorendro asserted.
