The KSO-GHQ seeking support and co-operation of all in this regard, maintained, “Taking strong exception to the continued stationing and additional deployment of Manipur Police Commandos in Moreh border town despite the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s assurance to withdraw all state forces from Moreh within three days during his last visit to the border town; and while the demand for withdrawal of the state forces in the aforesaid town has been gaining momentum following their excesses and total disregard to civil rights and liberties, the moves of the state government in forcefully deploying a convoy of 19 vehicles carrying Manipur police commandos and the Arambai Tenggol added more fuel to the fire in the already volatile situation, the Media Personnel and Medical Emergency related cases will only be exempted from the purview of the total shutdown,” KSO-GHQ stated in a notice.
