Interacting with media persons, Mercy Khongsai, Joint Secretary of Kuki Student’s Organisation (KSO) Ukhrul, narrated that, “In the wee hours around 5 am Friday, the Meitei armed radical group, they intruded the village, which is under Phungyar Sub-Division, Kamjong District and killed three innocent people. Furthermore, they also attempted to burn down the village. However, with timely intervention of the volunteers from nearby villages, they ran away.”
“Today, as I am standing here, the very fact that I am standing here at mortuary of Ukhrul District Hospital for postmortem of three persons who were brutally killed by armed Meitei radicals is evident enough that Manipur is not yet peaceful. However, the Central Government and State Government claim that Manipur is already peaceful. As I have already said, this very incident that happened this very morning is evident that Manipur is no longer peaceful and it won’t be peaceful until and unless concrete resolutions is intended by the State Government as well as the Central Government.”
