Imphal, January 27 2024:
A large number of minors/school going children were brought to streets as Kuki civil society organisations staged a protest against the deployment of State forces at Moreh, today.
The protesters demanded withdrawal of State forces from the border town.
Curfew was relaxed from 6 am to 9 am at the border town.
During the curfew relaxation hours, the CSOs and the minors staged a protest at Moreh Evening Market.
Moreh police took up necessary security measures during the protest demonstration.
At 9 am, the police asked the protesters to vacate the area as the curfew relaxation time was over.

The protesters were dispersed by the police team at around 10.30 am and there was no report of any unwan-ted incident.
Meanwhile, the Meetei Council Moreh (MCM), Manipur has said that Kuki people demanding removal of State commandos from Moreh is illogical.
Saying that State forces can enforce law and order in any part of the State wherever deemed necessary, the council reasoned that Moreh is very much a part of Manipur and it is natural for the State forces to carry out their assigned duty at the border town.
The MCM further said that it is the duty of the State force to safeguard the remaining Meitei properties at Moreh which have been abandoned due to the onslaught of Kuki militants and their associates.
Saying that all Meitei properties have been vandalised and flattened at places such as Churachandpur, Motbung, Kangpokpi etc, it urged the Government to send more State forces to Moreh and safeguard the remaining Meitei properties at the border town.
