Imphal: The Manipuri Meitei Pangal Welfare Organisation (MMWO) has called on the state and central governments to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) to restore stability in Manipur. The organization argues that current temporary measures are insufficient to address the ongoing conflict and the suffering of the local population.
MMWO Working President Amin Moijingmayum stated that the state has endured years of violence, resulting in significant loss of life and widespread hardship. He highlighted that communities are struggling with unemployment, displacement, and declining mental health, noting that the persistence of violence and highway blockades indicates that current security strategies are failing to curb the unrest.
Moijingmayum identified illegal immigration as a primary factor that has been ignored for too long. He asserted that failing to take decisive action on this front will only perpetuate instability. Addressing the cycle of violence, he emphasized that lasting peace requires identifying and resolving the root causes of the crisis. He stated, "We want peace and no violence in Manipur."
The organization is urging authorities to move beyond reactive security measures and prioritize concrete solutions to foster permanent normalcy. By implementing the NRC, the MMWO believes the government can finally begin to tackle the underlying issues driving the state's prolonged crisis.
