Dimapur, July 20 (EMN): Kuki organisations have questioned the insipid attitude of the state government towards the culprits responsible for the terror attack on civilian residents in Moreh on July 13 even after a lapse of seven days.
A joint press release from chairperson of Molnoi area Kuki women human rights group from Tengnoupal district, Lamvah Haokip, and the chairperson of Kuki women human rights from Chandel district, Lheikim, have expressed disappointment on the inability of the government to arrest the culprits of the premeditated savage terror attacks on civilian residential houses in Moreh at 2 am on July 13 by suspected armed militants.
Terming as one of the deadliest terror or militant attacks in the history of Manipur, the press release stated that armed militants numbering about ten or more used sophisticated weapons including automatic rifles, lethod bombs and hand grenades attacked on innocent civilians that lasted for over 45 minutes to inflict maximum casualty and deaths.
It stated that the attackers also assaulted Paokhogin Haokip and Lambu, ADC Moreh. Besides, the miscreants had attacked the residences belonging to Thongkhomang Touthang, Chongkholun Lhungdim and Onkholet Haokip located at Gamnom Veng, Ward Number 2, Moreh, in Tengnoupal district.
It stated that many properties including vehicles were destroyed in the attack in which over 100 rounds of bullets were fired and a number of lethod bombs and hand grenades lobbed into the houses. It added that Thongminlun Haokip, president of TSA, Moreh block, along with his pregnant wife and two children both below five years, were traumatised.
Alleging that the attack was carried out with an evil design to cause mass murder and terror, it questioned as to why the government has not taken any punitive actions against the attackers till now?
In the light of the above stated circumstances, the organisations have demanded the state government to immediately take up stringent actions against the culprits involved in the attacks and deliver justice to the victims.
It also urged to remove armed militant group responsible for the attack permanently from Moreh and its surrounds and provide financial assistance to the anguished families for the loss of properties and damaged vehicles in the attack.
It has further warned to intensify its agitation if the government continues to ignore and fail to meet their demands.
