Imphal: Meira Paibi, a collective of Meitei women, Monday staged protests against Assam Rifles in the Imphal Valley.

They staged sit-in demonstrations in various localities blocking roads, demanding the removal of Assam Rifles from violence-hit areas and accusing the paramilitary force of ‘brutality during recent agitations’.

Meira Paibi, which literally means ‘women torch bearers’, took the decision to conduct the stir during a convention held in Malom Tulihal area in Imphal West district Sunday.

In Hodam Leirak area in Imphal West district, dozens of women came out on the streets and blocked one lane of the Tiddim Road which leads to Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts.

They also staged sit-in demonstrations in Kwakeithel, Uripok and Singjamei areas in Imphal West district and Angom Leikai and Khurai areas in Imphal East district.

Similar protests were also held in Thoubal and Bishnupur districts.

L Mema, a protester at Hodam Leirak, told reporters, “Our protest was necessitated by the continuous brutal crackdown by the Assam Rifles on the public, including women. Evidence has come to light that Assam Rifles is biased and is targeting the Meiteis instead of discharging their duties responsibly and sincerely.”

Meanwhile, curfew in the Imphal East and West districts was relaxed from 5am to noon Monday.

Separate statements were issued by the office of the respective district magistrates in this regard.

“Restriction of movement of the public from their residence is hereby lifted from 5am to noon on August 7 to facilitate the general public to purchase essential items including medicines and food items,” the notifications stated.

Curfew relaxation was shortened to 5am to 10:30am Saturday after three people, including a father-son duo, were killed in their sleep and their bodies were later slashed with swords by militants in Bishnupur district.

The curfew relaxation period was from 5am to 6pm in the twin Imphal districts before the incident. There was no relaxation of curfew on Sunday.

Ethnic clashes between Kukis and Meiteis broke out in Manipur May 3, and have been continuing for the last three months, claiming over 160 lives.
