Torbung Apun-ba Meira Paibi Lup secretary Keithellakpam Kegesana has stressed that displaced people of Torbung do not want to stay at relief camps forever but are yearning to return to their homes as soon as possible.
Addressing a press meet at Phougakchao Ikhai Mamang Leikai on Tuesday, K Kegesana said that it is the responsibility of the government to resolve the conflict without further delay as continuous attacks by Kuki militants in areas under Torbung Gram Panchayat have been making life difficult and risky for the villagers.

Kegesana further urged authority poncerned as well as state andcentral security forces to ensure that the riot-affected Torbung villagers are provided security all the time.
