Call for Justice: YMA Demands Compensation for Jiribam Victims

The Young Mizo Association (YMA) has urged the Centre to compensate families of victims killed in Manipur's Jiribam district. This follows an attack by suspected militants on police and CRPF camps, resulting in several casualties. YMA demands investigation and resolution of the ongoing ethnic conflict.

The Young Mizo Association (YMA) has called on the central government to compensate the families of victims killed in a recent confrontation with security forces in Manipur's Jiribam district.

The incident saw 10 suspected militants killed after an armed assault on the Borobekra police station and a nearby CRPF camp. The YMA condemned these killings, including that of a 31-year-old woman by 'Meitei miscreants' and 10 'village volunteers' from Hmar-Mizo tribes by security forces.

Meanwhile, allegations of misconduct against CRPF personnel surfaced, with claims that a Hmar woman was brutally attacked before being killed. Political bodies in Mizoram criticized these acts and pushed for neutrality among security forces, while post-mortem examinations of some victims were conducted in Assam, pending further autopsies.
