Imphal, July 04 2023:
Thumkhong Lairem-bi Nupi Lup has urged the state government to deploy security forces at Itham village of Imphal East district to alleviate the fears among the villagers.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Lup said that Itham is a Meitei settlement with Kuki villages on three sides including Saitong, Bongyang, Kamu and Wa-phei.
However, no security forces have been deployed in the area.
As such, the villagers are apprehensive about their safety as there had been incidents of firing at the village from the surrounding villages.
Despite the threat to their lives, the villagers have to move about to farm and work.
Thus, the body appealed to the government to deploy security forces in the area at the earliest.
