Emphasising the need for unity, she called upon mothers, civil society organisations (CSOs) and the public to collectively stand together to protect the State and restore peace.

The meeting was attended by members of COCOMI, representatives of various CSOs from different parts of the State, and local leaders from across Kumbi AC.

Participants held placards bearing slogans such as "Stop Polarisation of Society on Communal Lines", "Fight Against Communalism", "Why is Manipur's Problem Not a National Issue", "Prevent Obstruction of National Highways", "Allow Free Movement of Goods and People", "Protect Territorial Integrity of Manipur", "Save Manipur, Filter Illegal Immigrants", "Justice for Victims", "Take Immediate Corrective Measures to Restore Peace and Normalcy in Manipur", "Manipur Crisis is a National Issue", and "Abrogate SoO".

The meeting concluded with a strong call for justice, accountability and immediate measures to restore peace and normalcy in the State.
