Large number of people including residents of relief camps, meira paibi and youth of Wangjing-Heirok on Wednesday stormed the offices of Thoubal DC, SP and 3rd IRB demanding immediate despatch of reinforcement to Moreh town.
The public uprising came close on the heels of attacks carried out by Kuki militants on Manipur police commandos deployed in Moreh.
Some of the agitators, who were demanding reinforcement to aid the police commandos in Moreh, were allowed to meet the DC, SP and the CO of the 3rd IRB.
The representatives were informed by the officials that additional state forces are being sent to Moreh amid the meeting, after which the public dispersed.
