IMPHAL, Sept 4: Federation of Civil Society Organisations (FOCS) said today that miscreants set ablaze a house of a retired Manipur Police officer which is located near Jakuradhor Bazar under Borobekra Sub-division in Jiribam district on Wednesday’s wee hours.
Taking strong exception to the incident, FOCS demanded the resignation of Manipur Security Advisor, Kuldiep Singh.
Condemning the incident in the strongest terms, FOCS, in a press release, stated that the Central forces deployed in the area and Manipur Security Advisor, Kuldiep Singh should be held responsible for the unfortunate incident.

FOCS went on to maintain that the non-natives had already outnumbered the natives in Jiribam district while adding that it is keeping eye on the district since the eruption of the Manipur crisis so as to prevent it from falling in the hands of their adversaries/enemies.
FOCS also accused the Chin-Kuki-Zo people of trying to capture/control the Imphal-Jiribam road (national highway).
Further alleging that the “Kuki terrorists” have been repeatedly burning the Meitei houses situated under the jurisdiction of Borobekra Sub-Division, FOCS decried that the Central forces deployed in the area are only remaining a mute spectator when such incidents are happening.
