Over Govt inaction on drone attack Keithel women sparks protest

Imphal: Anger and frustration boiled over today, women from Khwairambandh Keithel took to the streets in protest, condemning both the central and state governments for their silence and inaction following a deadly drone attack by Kuki militants on Meitei villages.

The attack, which resulted in the death of a 35-year-old woman and the injury of her daughter, along with several others, has sparked outrage across the state.
This afternoon, a large group of irate womenfolk marched towards the Chief Minister’s Bungalow, demanding answers and immediate action. “What is the government doing?

Why is the new governor of the state silent when Kuki militants are bombing villages using drones?” shouted one protester as the crowd moved forward, expressing their disbelief and anger at the lack of response from authorities.
Y. Ibeyaima, a member of the Khwairamband Keithel Apunba Nupi, voiced the collective fury of the women, stating, “We cannot tolerate such a genocidal mission. Why are they not arrested? Dropping bombs using drones is something done in wars between countries, yet Kuki militants are allowed to attack Meitei people with impunity.”
The protestors were eventually halted by police near Gambhir Singh Market complex on BT Road, where tensions escalated as the women confronted the police, demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible for the attacks.

The women vowed to intensify their movement unless decisive action is taken to drive out and arrest the Kuki militants responsible for the drone attacks.
