MSCW President, crimes against women are on hype in the state
Imphal: Manipur State Commission for Women (MSCW) Chairperson Salam Ulka on Sunday said that crimes against women are increasing in the state.
She appealed to all people to try to end such crimes.
The appeal came after MSCW sought a status report from the Superintendent of Police, Imphal East, on the December 5 death of a housewife Shijagurumayum (Ongbi) Romita Devi alias Roni alias Nanao.
The deceased was found hanging at the house of her husband Shija Shijagurumayum Bidyananda alias Bubu Sharma in Khongman Zone II.
Speaking as a chief guest in an awareness program on “Eliminating Gender-Based Violence” organised by the Manipur State Rural Livelihood Mission under the sponsorship of the Commission at Luwangshangbam community hall in Imphal West on Sunday, Ulka called upon stakeholders concerned to collectively work for the elimination of violence against women.
She noted with regret that in Manipur the violence against women can be categorised into physical, financial, and mental violence.
Notably, the MSCW has registered 60 cases related to crimes against women since September 2022 to date.
Five of these cases were handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further investigation.
