In Kangpokpi, Manipur, local chemists have publicly denounced an assault on a medical team and threatened to mobilize if the attackers are not brought to justice.
A group of chemists from Kangpokpi in Manipur has issued a strong condemnation following an attack on a medical team that was providing services in the region. The incident, which took place earlier this week, involved the assault of several healthcare workers, raising concerns about the safety of medical personnel in conflict‑prone areas.
The chemists, who represent a prominent local professional association, called for an immediate investigation and the arrest of those responsible. They also warned that if the authorities fail to act decisively, they would organize a protest to demand justice and better security for medical staff.
Local officials have yet to release a statement, but the incident has sparked a broader discussion about the protection of healthcare workers in Manipur’s volatile districts. The chemists’ stance reflects growing frustration among professionals who feel that their safety is increasingly at risk.
The attack has drawn attention from state authorities, and the police are reportedly reviewing the security protocols for medical teams operating in the area. The community awaits a prompt response to ensure such incidents do not recur.
