Imphal, November 13 2026:
Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho has called for dialogue and reconciliation while condemning the brutal killings of innocent people, which have continued in the State.
In a statement, he strongly condemned the killing of four innocent travellers at New Haven along Imphal-Ukhrul Road, namely Kapangkhul, Haoleila, August Ngalung and Khanmila.
"Our State has endured unimaginable heartbreak," he said, adding that the recent loss of innocent lives along "our roads and within our communities" has left deep wounds that violence and retaliation can never heal.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that, historically, hatred and bloodshed have only bred destruction, while those who choose the path of conflict are ultimately held accountable for the devastation they leave behind.
Stating that human life is precious and enough blood has been shed, he called upon all civil society organisations, village authorities, youth leaders and every peace-loving citizen to join the dialogue and give peace a chance.
He added that true courage is not found in wielding a sword but in having the strength to listen to one another.
