Imphal, December 29:
The KSO Chandel district has urged upon the security forces to clear landmines and to flush out UG elements from Khengjoi area of Chandel district so that the people of the area can live and work without any fear psychosis.
A press release issued by the student body also appealed to both the security forces and the UG groups to avoid collateral damages and to protect the lives of civilians while in the battlefield.
The KSO while appealing to all NGOs in the State to refrain from any misleading rumour or propaganda, warned all concerned not to use local people for the benefits of their vested interests.
It alleged that Haopu Haokip, Tonglet Khongsai and Ngamkhojang alias Simthar were forced to appear before media to speak falsehoods in favour of UGs and civil societies in order to gain public support against the operations of security forces.
Yet, the KSO sought attention of both the State and Central Governments towards the plight of the affected villagers in the back drop of the ongoing CI operations.
It also conveyed wish for a happy and prosperous New Year to all villagers, security forces and public leaders of the area.
