NONGPOH, June 20: In the midst of the escalating violence between the Meitei and Kuki tribes in Manipur, a prominent church leader from the state of Manipur seeking refuge at Pilangkata village, Deacon S Chinpu, has made a heartfelt appeal to the people of Manipur urging them to put an end to the ongoing clashes and strive for peace.
The volatile situation in Manipur has resulted in numerous members of the Kuki tribe seeking temporary shelter at Pilangkata village, desperately seeking respite from the relentless violence that has engulfed the state.
Against this backdrop, Deacon S Chinpu, who serves as the church leader of the Evangelical Free Church of India, addressed the media at Pilangkata village, expressing dismay at the prolonged unrest and violence that has plagued Manipur.
During the press conference, Chinpu emphasised the severe repercussions faced by those affected, as locals have been uprooted from their homes and forced to flee, seeking shelter in various locations across the Northeastern region. He called for an end to the cycle of violence, stressing the importance of restoring normalcy in Manipur through the pursuit of peace and tranquility.
“The escalating violence has uprooted local residents of Manipur from their homes, forcing them to flee and find shelter elsewhere. To restore normalcy in Manipur, it is imperative that we put an end to this cycle of violence and work towards peace and tranquility,” the church leader said.
His earnest appeal serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for harmony and reconciliation within the troubled region. It is hoped that his plea will resonate with the people of Manipur, inspiring them to come together and strive for a peaceful resolution, thereby paving the way for the return of normalcy in the state.
