Manipur Violence: N Singh, the chief minister of Manipur, stated on Monday that the violent incident on May 3 led to the deaths of over 60 innocent people. Speaking at a news conference, Singh said that the sad incident left approximately 231 people injured and 1700 homes in flames.
The chief minister of Manipur further urged the populace to uphold peace and warned them that a high-level investigation would be launched to hold those accountable for the violence and take action against those who had failed to carry out their duties in putting an end to the disturbance. He also pleaded with the populace not to hinder or block the flow of public transport.
“Those stranded at different locations in Manipur are being provided the best possible care and support. They are being moved to safe locations and shelters. Till now, 20,000 such persons have been evacuated and about 10,000 remain stranded,” Singh said.
“A high-level inquiry will be conducted to fix responsibility on persons/groups behind the violence and government servants who failed to discharge their responsibilities. I appeal to all not to spread or believe unfounded and baseless rumours. Till now, 35,655 persons, including 1593 students, have been moved to safer locations,” the CM said.
The chief minister also assured that the government machinery was working nonstop to fix the issue and regain control, and that MLAs and ministers were also really trying to restore harmony.
“I appeal to the public to extend their maximum cooperation to paramilitary and state forces. I also appeal to them to create a safe and conducive environment to enable affected families to return to their homes. I sincerely thank the honourable Home Minister Amit Shah on behalf of the government. He has been monitoring the situation from the first day of violence and has sent several companies of central forces to the state to restore order,” Singh said.
There are preparations in place by a number of state governments, especially those in the Northeast, to remove their inhabitants from the violent Manipur.
