Imphal, October 24 2009:
Amid tense situation prevailing in Kwakta area a public meeting held at Kwakta Shandong today resolved to demand opening up of a police out-post at Kwakta Shandong Keithel.
other resolutions adopted at the meeting include, bearing treatment cost of injured Shyamkishore by the assailants, facilitating movement of Kwakta Shandong villagers to their agricultural fields and formation of a JAC to take further course of action.
The meeting was convened in the aftermath of clashes between two communities which was sparked off when a Kwakta youth allegedly molested a Kwakta Shandong girl on october 22 night.
Speakers at the meeting, presided by Kwakta Shandong's senior citizen K Shamungou, also took grim note of the fact that state authorities had been ignoring tense situation prevalent in the general area of Kwakta as well as inaction to bring about an amicable settlement to the dispute between the two neighbouring villages.
