Imphal, June 28 2023:
All Manipur Loumee Lup had demanded deployment of state forces in the peripheral areas of the valley so that villagers could take up agricultural activities without fear.
All Manipur Lournee Lup general secretary H Ibobi told media persons on Tuesday that villagers in the peripheral valley areas of the state are under constant threat from Kuki militants who constructed unaccounted numbers of bunkers on nearby hills.
Villagers are unable to take up agricultural activities despite the arrival of Monsoon as threat from Kuki militants continues unabated, Ibobi said and appealed to the government to deploy state forces in peripheral areas and remove bunkers so that villagers could take up agricultural activities without any inhibition.
