Narrating about the incident, Geeta Maibam a Supervision staff of the EES of Tulihal airport said that contract works for cleaning the premises for the year 2013 was given to Kangjam Nilabir on December 4. Following this, he ordered all the staff working in the EES to come to his house and sign on a paper that stated that all the staff were getting 6 thousand rupee monthly while he would only be giving 3 thousand only, Geeta alleged. Nilabir asked all the staff to sign the paper in case they wanted to resume their work, she maintained. All staff members opposed the condition made by the contractor. Later on December 21, Amom Tembi wife of A Khamba of Tabungkhok Makha Leikai was brutally assaulted by the contractor Nilabir at the arrival area of the airport around 8.30 am following which she was hospitalized at RIMS.

Geeta further mentioned that the staff filed an FIR regarding the incident at the Singjamei Police Station which led to the arrest of the Nilabir but he was let free by the police without any compromise or negotiation with the assaulted victim.

Speaking at the press conference, S. Ibetombi President of the Women Association for Civic Action Kangleipak said that the incident of brutal assault to the women staff by the contractor in question is very condemnable. She asked the contractor Nilabir to come to the organization within five days of time and clarify regarding the incident without fail. She further demanded to know the intention of asking only for the women staff to come to his house for their signatures.

Accusing the police personnel of Sinjamei Police who were involved in the investigations against Nilabir of being corrupt, she asked over how much money they have would taken as a bribe from Nilabir for letting him go.

K Memchoubi of Poirei Leimerol Meira Paibi Apunba Manipur said that the action of the contractor shows that he does not have any amount of respect for women in the state. She further stated that her organization would complain to the concerned department regarding the release of Nilabir from the custody of Singjamei Police.

Speaking to the media at a press conference held at Manipur Press Club, ICHAM president N Rajendro said that the SIU was established on May 6 year to control and check of illegal drugs being brought in the state. “During a short period of just 9 months, the SIU has done remarkably well led by Inspector K Ranjit and was able to seize around 10 crore worth of illegal drugs which were being brought into the state through aeroplanes or by interstate bus plying in the state and from the post office.” In this situation, he said that it is very unfortunate to demolish the SIU just after a day when the SIU team seized a huge consignment of illegal drugs worth around 1.40 crore from the Tulihal airport which was brought in an Air Deccan flight from Kolkata.

Regarding the abolishing of the SIU after the major drug haul, Rajendro expressed suspicion that there might be a hand of the airport authority, the state government and some high profile bureaucrat officers of the state in the illegal drugs trade in the state and that because of them, the SIU has been abolished so they can continue to bring in more drugs.

He further said that it is very unfortunate to hear about the abolishing of a Unit which is showing results in terms of its work. “Instead of rewarding them for their achievements, the Government has instead quashed the body,” he said.

Rajendro further appealed to the state government to re-establish the SIU in the state to stop illegal drug trades in the state as many youths of the state are caught in the grips of drug abuse. He also appealed to all the ruling and opposition MLAs to raise their voices loud and clear against the illegal drug trade in the state and to work collectively for the better cause of the society.
