Manipur rally calls for action against insurgents
On Saturday, a massive rally was organised in Manipur's capital city Imphal by a prominent civil society group to demand action against "Kuki-Chin terrorists." The rally aimed to address the ongoing ethnic clashes in the northeastern state and protect the territorial integrity of Manipur amid the Kuki-Zo-Chin tribes' demands for a separate administration.
The people participating in the rally were determined to put an end to the ongoing ethnic conflict and address the issues caused by suspected narco-terrorists from Myanmar, who were believed to be creating disturbances in Manipur.
The organisers stated their intention to submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to take prompt action to restore peace and normalcy in Manipur.
They also voiced their concern about the situation, which they believed was exacerbated by the influx of illegal immigrants.
