Imphal, September 04 2023:
The Co-ordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has said that they, along with the people, will knock down the barricade set up by the Army at Phougak-chao Ikhai in Bishnupur on September 6 (Wednesday) .
Speaking to media persons at Lamphelpat today, COCOMI media coordinator Somorendro Thokchom said that the committee had already urged the Government and the authorities concerned to remove the Army barricade by August 30 but the same hasn't been fulfilled.
Saying that they will storm the Army barricade on September 6, he asked the Central and the State Government to take full respon- sibility if anything bad happens to the people on the said day.
To a query, Somorendro said that the only aspiration of the COCOMI is to keep the integrity of Manipur intact and as such, the demand of separate administration should never be entertained.
Saying that the war of COCOMI is only against the narco-terrorists, he also appealed to the Government to push back the Kuki narco-terrorists who are challenging the territorial integrity of Manipur openly.
