Relay sit-in protest continues at Lamboikhongnangkhong

With just five days remaining for the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their respective homes, the relay sit-in protest at Lamboikhongnangkhong continues unabated. The protest, organized jointly by COCOMI and the affected IDPs, aims to press their demand for timely resettlement and adequate rehabilitation measures.
The IDPs and COCOMI representatives have been submitting memorandums to the Governor of Manipur, reiterating their plea for immediate action to facilitate safe and dignified return to their homes. The protestors emphasized the urgency of the matter, noting that delays could exacerbate their hardships, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
The ongoing relay sit-in has attracted attention from local authorities, civil society organizations, and media, highlighting the persistent challenges faced by displaced families in the state. COCOMI leaders have appealed to the government to ensure that the resettlement schedule is strictly adhered to and that necessary security and administrative arrangements are in place to safeguard the IDPs during their return.
The protest is expected to continue until the demands of the IDPs are formally addressed, with organizers urging the authorities to take immediate and concrete steps to restore normalcy and provide relief to the displaced communities.
