IMPHAL, Apr 13: In the aftermath of the Tronglaobi tragedy, the Young Socio Cultural Union (YSCU) and Wahengbam Leikai Yumjao Lairembi Apunba Nupee Lup Development Association have demanded immediate, independent and time-bound judicial inquiry into both the bomb attack and the CRPF firing incident.
Addressing the media at the Thangal Hall of Manipur Press Club today, Maisnam Pushpakanta, secretary, YSCU, strongly condemned the tragic bomb attack and firing, calling them "unforgivable and unacceptable".
He also called for full transparency and public disclosure of facts from the side of the Government as well as adequate compensation, medical, and psychological support for the victims and their families.
A delay in delivering justice and accountability may intensify the public movement seen in many different parts of the State, he said.
Further, he sought assurance from the Government to ensure that the shocking Tronglaobi incident will be the last of its kind.
In order to safeguard the lives of the indigenous population, the YSCU secretary appealed to the Government for heightened precautionary measures.
He also guaranteed support to the ongoing people's movement until the Government uncovers the truth about the Tronglaobi tragedy and brings the perpetrators to justice.  
YSCU also called for unity among CSOs across Manipur, stating that it is not the time for separate strategies and fragmented voices.
