Imphal. April 26 MNS/ NNN: Home minister Gaikhangam while meeting the press at the function said, to curb the tension erupted over the land dispute between the villagers of Jessami and Melori Village, Nagalan, the govt. will open an IRB post at Jessami. The state govt. will not remain a silent spectator when outsiders attacked the villager of Manipur. The govt. is also trying to find a solution to the present crisis.
G Gaikhangam said that since the ceasefire between the NSCN-IM and the Government is not extended to Manipur officially, there cannot be any designated camp of the Naga outfit in the state.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, the Manipur home minister said the state government of Manipur has been urging New Delhi to do away the NSCN-IM designated camps from Manipur since there is no NSCN-IM ceasefire in Manipur. Gaikhangam said he will take up the matter with the Central government so that no NSCN-IM designated camps are established in Manipur.
Meanwhile he has urged his Karnataka counterpart to give appropriate instructions to concerned law enforcing agencies for speedy delivery of justice under the law of the land regarding the alleged killing of Loitam Richard by his co-hostellers over an apparently trivial issue.
In a letter written to the home minister of Karnataka, R. Ashok, the home minister of Manipur stated that Karnataka ranks among the top destinations for higher studies for many Manipuri students as the city is perceived to be safe and friendly to people from the North-East region, and not only have students enrolled in various educational intuitions in Karnataka, many Manipuri professionals have settled and are working in companies in Karnataka and made it their second home.
But the brutal killing of Loitam Richard (21), who was a student of Acharya NRV School of Architecture in Bangalaru allegedly by his co-hostellers on April 19 over an apparently trivial issue, has vitiated this image of Karnataka as a hospitable state, shocked parents of students studying there and also scared off Manipuris residing there, stated Gaikhangam.
He further stated that the unfortunate incident occurred in the hostel where the students were watching a cricket tournament on television and that the Manipuri students union based in Bangalaru has already lodged an FIR with police for the arrest of the culprits.Gakhangam urged his counterpart in Karnataka to give appropriate instructions to concerned law enforcing agencies for speedy delivery of justice under the law of the land.This will significantly restore confidence and allay the fears of the Manipuri students and professionals residing in Karnataka, especially in Bangalaru city, the letter of the home minister said.
