The protest rally, jointly organised by the Village Protection Force, Eramdam Kanba Lup, and United Committee of Pukhao and Makeng Dolaithabi GP, saw a participation of at least 3,000 people.
A three-member team of Union Home ministry officials, which included advisor AK Mishra, joint director IB Mandeep Singh Tuli and joint director SIB Imphal Rajesh Kumble, had met Arambai Tenggol leaders on Monday and Tuesday. Regarding this meeting, he said, "They have assured us that their primary focus will be on addressing the Suspension of Operations (SoO)".
In a significant development in Manipur, 34 MLAs, mostly of the ruling BJP, have urged the Central government to abrogate the Suspension of Operation (SoO) with the armed militant outfits, otherwise the legislators would take "appropriate action" in consultation with the people.
