Imphal, March 04 2024:
Condemning the act of vandalism and arson at UCM office, Macha Leima School and finance office, womenfolk staged sit-in protest at the Macha Leima School gate on Sunday.
Speaking on the side-lines of the protest, All Manipur Kanba Ima Lup (AMKIL) president Lourembam Nganbi denounced the near simultaneous torching and destruction caused to offices of civil society organisations and school located within high security zone.
While alleging inefficiency on the part of the fire brigade and Manipur police to prevent or control the arson acts, she also condemned the assault on a journalist at his rented room on the first floor of MAPI Council office and setting all his items on fire.
Nganbi further demanded the government to trace and suitably punish the culprits involved.
