People protest against abduction of Government official in Imphal | Family members, local residents, staff and officials of an abducted Assistant Extension Officer working with the
Directorate of Tribal Development of Manipur staged a sit-in protests demanding safe release of the officer. The 60-year-old, Ningthoujam Chaoba, was abducted
by some unidentified armed persons on October 14 from his house at Yorbung in
Imphal. Chaoba is still in their captivity, and with no help being provided the
family members have decided to discuss it with higher authorities. "We have consulted
our minister. We will talk to the higher-level authorities. We'll discuss how
to manage it," said L. Thangton, Directorate of Tribal Development. While, Premlata,
who worked under Chaoba, said that abduction of Government officials in Manipur
has become a common practice and now people are tired of violence. "There won't
be any development, if such incidents keep on happening. Everyone is aware of
the problems but due to restrictions from them, they couldn't do much. People
are truly tired of all the violence in the state," Premlata said. The protest
by the staff and the officials totally paralysed the Office of the Directorate
of Tribal Development. The continuous harassment of the people is making them
question the motives of organizations and groups who claim to represent their
interests. |
