The director general listened patiently to the issues of concern being faced by all the groups. In his interaction with them, he said that Moreh is a township that is very different from the other towns in Manipur because of its cosmopolitan nature. People from the Kuki, Meitei, Naga, Tamil, Pangal, Gorkha, Sikh and other communities have been residing for decades in peace and harmony. The past eight months of strife that was preceded by two years of covid has greatly affected the lives of the children and youth. Their future is at stake and thus there is no other alternative but to shun violence, the DG added.
Biren said that the unified command and combined teams of security forces comprising Assam Rifles, BSF and state police commandos are jointly taking on the militants. “Militants have attacked state police and central forces. It is our primary duty to protect the people and land of the state. The unified command, Assam Rifles, BSF and state forces are countering the attack of the militants.”
