“The State reaffirms that no individual, group, or organization — whether proscribed or otherwise — has authority to issue decrees, impose punishments, or restrict the lawful cultural, economic, or artistic activities in Manipur,” the Manipur Government said in a statement issued with a stern warning to anti-social elements.
According to a statement issued by the Home Department, it has come to the attention of the Manipur Government that some organizations are attempting to disrupt peace in Manipur by threatening and intimidating the law-abiding citizens of the state, and actions have already been initiated against such anti-social elements by the Manipur Police. It added that any attempt to intimidate or endanger the safety and security of any citizen is an act against the State and its people.
The State Government also appeals to the general public to immediately report any instance of threat, extortion, coercion, or suspicious activity to the nearest Police Station. Prompt punitive action will be taken on all credible reports against those threatening the lives and properties of the people of Manipur.
The State Government reiterates its unwavering commitment to safeguard the people of Manipur. It is an earnest appeal to the citizens to stand united against unlawful elements and to cooperate in the initiatives of the State Government towards maintaining peace, harmony, and public order to bring back the State to the path of growth and development.
