Meitei group Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) on Sunday demanded that the Centre implement NRC in the state to identify illegal immigrants from Myanmar. The COCOMI also urged the government to complete fencing along the India-Myanmar border at the earliest to stop illegal immigration and trafficking of arms and drugs.
“The Centre has not taken any action despite fresh bombings at Kadangband earlier this month. This indicates the people of the state are not being considered as citizens of the country,” said Somendro Thokchom, the Coordinator of the organisation.
