Thoubal, December 27 2023:
A public meeting convened by Athokpam Apunba Meira Paibi Lup at Athokpam Makha Leikai community hall on Tuesday has resolved to oppose the recent government order for stationing of 99 Bn BSF (B Coy) at Athokpam police out post.
Speaking to media persons after the meeting, Lup vice president Yumnam Bimola contended that Athokpam has not witnessed any unwanted incident related to the ethnic conflict.
Regardless of the prevailing tranquillity, the government issued an order on December 22 for housing a platoon of the BSF unit at Athokpam police out post, which the locals oppose.
While declaring the residents will hold protests near the out post until the order is revoked, she cautioned that in case of the central forces (CFs) are forcibly stationed at the outpost then the government should bear the consequences of any unwanted incident.
