Imphal, 1st July, 2023 : THE Governor of Manipur, Miss Anusuiya Uikey appealed the people of Manipur to bring peace and normalcy in the state. In a message given to the people of Manipur she said, “I am deeply shocked and disheartened about the unprecedented ethnic clash between the two communities that broke out on 3rd May which has been still continuing in which several lives were lost and several sustained injuries”.  

In addition, innumerable houses of both the communities were set ablaze and properties were lost and damaged.  Thousands of people of both communities were displaced and have been taking shelter in different relief camps of both Valley and Hills Districts since the fateful incident.

           I strongly condemn such an inhuman act.  Due to these unbelievable incident, activities of paddy cultivation which is the backbone of economy of the State have been adversely affected as the cultivators are not in a position to work in their respective fields without fear.   

I sincerely appeal to all irrespective of caste, creed and religion to extend their fullest cooperation to solve the problem through an amicable and peaceful dialogue so that our age-old tradition of co-existence can be maintained.

           I am fully confident that such inhuman acts will have an adverse-affect to the youths, especially to our children who are the future pillars of the State. I, from the bottom of my heart further appeal to you all, especially mothers and sisters to restrain from blocking Security Forces on the roads as they are discharging their responsibilities for the safety of the people of the State. 

Most importantly, everybody should not believe in spreading baseless rumours and should always try to desist it.  All the issues can be and should be solved through a peaceful dialogue to restore the past peaceful atmosphere of the State.  

My dear citizens of Manipur, finally, I once again, appeal to you to bring a peaceful life in the coming days and years.”
