Imphal, October 14 2023:
In view of the present restive situation in the state, Umanglai Kanba Apunba Lup (UKAL) has urged the people not to celebrate Panthoibi Eratpa with festivities other than performing only the essential rituals, while Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasilloi Apunba Lup (MEELAL) advised all to refrain from celebrating Ningol Chakkouba this year.
In separate releases, the two organisations condemned the ceaseless attacks on Meetei villages by Kuki militants and the failure of the government to take up effective measures to stop such attacks on the innocent civilians.
They also denounced atrocities committed by security forces towards protesting womenfolk.
