Manipur CM N Biren Singh warns people against brandishing firearms
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Monday warned individuals or groups against brandishing firearms and roaming in the streets with weapons.
He has announced that the government would not remain as silent spectators and would take stringent action as per the law.
While addressing a mammoth crowd at Haj Complex, Lilong Karampat during a mass congregation on development of Lilong in Thoubal district, Singh said that soon after the formation of the BJP-led government in the state, its first priority was to provide rights of being an Indian citizen to the people and bring development and peaceful co-existence.
Highlighting various schemes implemented by the government including the ‘Go to Village and Go to Hills’, the Chief Minister observed that these schemes have brought governance to the doorsteps of the common people.
Saying that the present government believes in equal development, he further spoke of the construction of ‘Women’s Markets’ in various places including in the hills and at Lilong.
Singh said that he has been working towards building a unified Manipur and highlighted various developmental works undertaken in the hill districts including the Manipur Southern Cultural Centre at Behiang in Churachandpur District, the Makhel Heritage Park in Senapati District, and Medical College at Churachandpur.
Noting that districts like Tamenglong have witnessed huge development he said that soon it would take only about six hours to reach Guwahati from Tamenglong.
The government is not against any community that has been residing together with others in the state, Singh said, adding that the government has never asked any of the communities to leave the state.
All these communities should live together
