Imphal, June 24 2023:
Hundreds of women formed a human chain in Imphal East district and prayed for the all political party meeting convened at New Delhi to find a lasting solution to the violence taking place in Manipur, today.
The human chain was formed under the guidance of Nongpok Pana Apunba Lup (NONGPAL) which is a conglomerate of 13 clubs situated along Porompat DC road from Imphal East DC office up to Top Khongnangkhong Iril Mapal after passing through Kongpal from 3 pm to 4 pm.
During the demonstration, the womenfolk used placards which read "Implement National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur", "We want peace", "No President Rule in Manipur" and "Long Live Manipur" among others.
The demonstrators also remained silent for a minute in honour of all the people who were killed in the movement to protect the integrity and unity of Manipur.
One of the women who took part in the human chain Sofiya Athokpam said that the Central Government not showing any commitment to end the violence in Manipur is unfortunate.
She nonetheless prayed for the all political party meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to find a solution and break the chain of violence in Manipur.
