Imphal, May 16 2009:
Conveying that the recent attack at Longrei-Apinjang (Ganglong-IV) in Nungba sub-division, Tamenglong district by KNF (MC) caused severe damage and left 100 households in dire straits, the Longrei Lu Phuam and Rongmei Lu Phuam have sought immediate assistance both in terms of security measures and relief materials.
A joint press release issued by the two bodies informed that five houses were completely burnt down by the attackers even as they have been repulsed by troops of 11 AR.
Appealing to all the people for assistance towards the victimised villagers, it cautioned that any fresh violence by the intruders may spark communal flare up.
"Irresponsible individuals or groups should now understand the gravity of the situation and shun further violence.
Majority communities should also extend all possible help towards bringing peace", it said.
