Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha and Taphou VA have urged authorities to secure the safe release of two Kuki youths who were abducted in Manipur. The plea comes amid growing concerns over the safety of ethnic minorities in the region.
Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha and Taphou VA have publicly requested that state authorities ensure the safe release of two Kuki youths who were abducted earlier this month in Manipur. The youths, whose identities have not yet been disclosed, are believed to have been taken by unknown assailants.
The plea was made during a press briefing where the officials highlighted the need for swift action and cooperation from local police and security agencies. They emphasized that the abduction has heightened tensions among the Kuki community and called for measures to prevent further incidents.
Law enforcement officials have confirmed that investigations are underway, but no arrests have been reported as of now. The Deputy CM urged the central government to assist in the search and to ensure that the youths are returned safely.
The incident has drawn attention to the broader issue of communal security in Manipur, where ethnic tensions occasionally flare up. The Deputy CM’s appeal is seen as a step toward addressing these concerns and restoring confidence among minority groups.
The state government has promised to keep the public updated on the progress of the investigation and the steps taken to secure the release of the abducted youths.
