"Deep Disenchantment...": Top Meitei Think Tank 'Taragi Cheisu' On Manipur Government Amid Crisis

The think tank 'Taragi Cheishu', whose advisers include filmmaker Aribam Syam Sharma and playwright Ratan Thiyam, asked the government to acknowledge the "deep disenchantment of the people with their inability to resolve the crisis"

A top think tank of the Meitei community in Manipur has come out in support of students, who, it said, have been expressing "righteous indignation at the government's abject failure to resolve the crisis afflicting the state".

In a statement, the think tank 'Taragi Cheishu' whose advisers include filmmaker Aribam Syam Sharma and noted playwright Ratan Thiyam, asked the government to acknowledge the "deep disenchantment of the people with their inability to resolve the crisis and act judiciously and ensure that the young protesters are not harmed and hurt."

Hundreds of students had participated in a peaceful rally in the state capital Imphal on Tuesday. However, some elements allegedly infiltrated the students' protest and created ruckus, leading to police action, sources had said.
