“The inability of the authorities to safeguard the lives and properties of citizens is not just a failure at the state level but reflects poorly on the central leadership as well,” state Congress chief Keisham Meghachandra said.Imphal valley-based organisation, Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity said the aerial bombings using drones, allegedly by the Kuki militants, were a serious war crime. It said during Sunday’s attack, the armed “immigrant Kuki groups” used an ambulance to infiltrate into Meitei villages. “We demand immediate action against those who carried out the attack, as their identities have been revealed through social media, including the ambulance’s registration number,” the organisation said.“If the state government fails to take appropriate action, public trust in the current administration could erode,” it warned.Meanwhile, the security forces continued their joint combing operations in the fringe areas of Kangpokpi and Imphal West districts.
