IMPHAL, March 3 MNS/NNN : Federation of Regional Indigenous Society (FREINDS) has once again demanded for the immediate implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Manipur.
According to the FREINDS, outsiders from mainland India and elsewhere come to Manipur and give lots of trouble to the local people. The FREINDS said that there have been rising in the cases of crime committed by these outsiders.
Pointing out the February 27 incident where a non-local from Silchar married to a Tangkhul woman tortured the latter, FREINDS said such cases have become rampant.
The Society while strongly condemning the February 27 incident said those problems will be reduced once the ILP is implemented in the state. FREINDS further said that drug trafficking cases, incidents of rape and other crimes in the state have become more rampant due to the inflow of outsiders into Manipur in large number.
FREINDS also cited numerous cases including that of the Churachandpur incident where a non-local had raped a 13 years old local girl.
Meanwhile, FREINDS had visited the victim of the February 27 incident at the hospital.
The 24-year-old housewife identified as one Soshima Keishing is struggling for her life in a hospital here after her husband along with his family allegedly burnt her. Her body got 40 percent burns, according to doctors.
The incident happened at Lamlongei Mantripukhri in Imphal West district in Manipur on February 27 evening.
She was taken to Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) here the same night.
Soshima Keishing, wife of Chandal Kal was allegedly set on fire by her husband along with the mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
“My hands were tight and mouth covered with a clothe and then they poured kerosene on my whole body and after that they set me on fire,” Soshima said.
Her husband and mother-in-law had been taken into custody of the Heingang Police Station. However, the sister-in-law is absconding, according to police.
Chandal Kal, a native of Silchar in Assam, is working for Imphal Tulihal Airport.
The couple married 4 years back and now they have a 3-year-old daughter.
Jadumani narrated the crimes committed by outsiders on the people of the state, viz, burnt down of a woman by her husband, at Mantripukhri on Feb 27, rape of a 13 year old girl from Churachandpur by a Bihari , sodomy of a four year old boy by Jahid Ulu Salam, molest of a girl at Waheng Leikai on Jan 6, rape of a four year old baby by a driver of BRTF at Mao, harassment of a woman by Ramesh Gupta, owner of Capital watch.
He also appealed the owners of the house to check the identities of those non-Manipuris who stayed on rent at their houses.
The state government should also check the bio-data of these non Manipuris, he said and added that inner line permit system should be implemented in Manipur.
