Incidents of looting properties from abandoned Meetei houses in Torbung Bangla villages by Kukis are continuing till date.
Sources said that large number of men and women from Kuki community from the nearby settlement came to Torbung Bangla on Tuesday morning around 7.15 and looted properties from abandoned Meetei houses.
They could be seen stealing furniture items, utensils, truck tyres, vehicle seats, doors and windows of vehicles and other construction materials, transporting them by using pickup trucks.
Interestingly, central security forces deployed in the area did nothing to stop the Kuki people from stealing the properties but remained as silent spectators raising question of complicity on the part of the security forces.
Local residents have been expressing their resentment against the conduct of the central security forces since the beginning of the violence.
