NDTV
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh today appealed for peace as ethnic violence rages for nearly a month now in the northeastern state. In his appeal that comes amid central and state efforts to quell the violence, he urged the people not to block roads or violate curfews.
"In order to save lives and property of innocent civilians, and to assuage the hardship faced in relief camps, I appeal to the people of Manipur not to cause roadblocks and hindrances on free movement of security personnel and relief material," he said.
Mr Singh also requested them to surrender their arms that they had snatched from security personnel.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the violence-hit districts yesterdays and also met the security officials and leaders of the civil society organisations.
