Manipur Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya on Tuesday expressed deep concerns over fresh incidents of violence in the state and “appealed to all the stakeholders to establish peace.”
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma expressed concerns over fresh incidents of violence in Manipur and said the Government of India needs to intervene in this.
“The situation that is constantly developing in Manipur is complex because there are people from different communities here and in a way history has also given rise to conflicts at many different levels in Manipur. So the current situation has also become quite complex.
I believe that the Government of India needs to intervene in this, where we bring a political solution here, where we bring confidence from every community in a way so that we can bring everyone on one platform and decide how to move forward. It is very important to bring this thinking, this platform and this favourable environment and I believe that no one other than the Government of India will be able to do this,” Sangma said.
Earlier on September 10, Manipur Police appealed to the public to restrain from resorting to violent forms of protest.
“Protests and demonstrations may be done in a peaceful manner after taking due permission from the concerned authorities. Also, there are numerous reports of fake news/ rumours of sensitive nature doing rounds in social media which may further fuel the ongoing law and order situation. Police is monitoring such fake news/ rumours on social media critically and strong legal action will be taken up against anyone circulating any such fake news/ rumours,” the Police said in a post on X.
