The Dima Halam Daogah (DMCC) has called for an immediate investigation into the deaths of three Meitei civilians and urged the government to scrap the State of Operations (SoO) agreement.
Manipur's volatile security situation prompted the Dima Halam Daogah (DMCC) to issue a formal demand on Monday. The group said three Meitei civilians were killed in recent clashes and that the authorities have not taken sufficient action.
In its statement, DMCC urged both the state and central governments to launch a thorough inquiry, hold those responsible accountable, and provide relief to the victims' families. The organization also called for the abrogation of the State of Operations (SoO) pact, arguing that the agreement has failed to curb violence and instead fuels further unrest.
The demand comes amid a series of incidents that have heightened communal tensions across Manipur. Officials have not yet responded publicly to DMCC's request, and the investigation into the three deaths remains pending.
Human rights observers have warned that the continued impunity could exacerbate the already fragile peace in the region. The DMCC's appeal underscores the pressure on policymakers to address the underlying causes of the conflict and restore stability.
