The committee also urged all stakeholders to act responsibly in this sensitive situation.
The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) Sadar Hills Kangpokpi, along with its subsidiary area units in Leimakhong, including the Leimakhong Area Protection Committee (LAPC) strongly condemned the reported abduction of the Meitei man from Assam’s Cachar in Manipur.
The man identified as 56-year-old Laishram Kamalbabu, hailing from Goshaipur, Assam, who had been stationed in Imphal for work under the Military Engineer Services at the 57 Mountain Division in Leimakhong was abducted on November 25.
According to the family members of Laishram, a review of the CCTV footage under the supervision of the Army showed Kamalbabu entering the Army camp but could not be traced leaving the vicinity.
CoTU, LAPC and Kuki-Zo civil society organizations expressed their support for ongoing search and rescue operations being conducted by the authorities.
They pledged their full cooperation in efforts to locate and rescue Laishram Kamalbabu who is believed to have been taken from the Army cantonment area.
They also appeal to the suspected abductors, urging them to release the MES employee unconditionally on humanitarian grounds and reunite him with his family.
In addition, the CoTU cautioned against drawing conclusions or propagating ethno-centric narratives targeting any specific community.
The committee emphasized the need to avoid escalating tensions between the Kuki-Zo and Meitei communities and called for patience until official confirmation of the incident is provided by competent authorities.
The committee also urged all stakeholders to act responsibly in this sensitive situation.
