Government of Mizoram and Manipur should take all measures to protect Meitei living in Mizoram to prevent any untoward incident.

We are really concerned about the people of Manipur staying out there in Mizoram,” he said, adding that if the conflict in Manipur spills over into Mizoram, the unrest could spread to other states.
Nando said that he would try to approach the civil society organizations of Mizoram and plead for the safety of Meitei people.
