Ukhrul, Nov 6:
The Ukhrul/Hunphun Village Authority expressed profound condemnation regarding the planting of an explosive device at the Zonal Education Office (ZEO) in Phungretang, Ukhrul today at the broad daylight at around 10:45 am. This disturbing act represents a severe threat not only to the immediate safety of the community but also to the stability and progress of institutions dedicated to educational development and empowerment.
Qr. H.A. Khayaiwo, headman of Ukhrul/Hunphun, voiced his concern, emphasizing the critical role the ZEO office plays in fostering the growth of future generations. As a vital center for resources, guidance, and support, the ZEO office aids in educating and nurturing the youth of Ukhrul and its neighboring regions. An attack on such an institution strikes at the very core of the community’s aspirations and development goals, undermining the efforts made to build a brighter future for all.
The Village Authority calls on all individuals and groups to honor the sanctity of educational institutions and desist from actions that instill fear, disrupt public peace, or harm the community’s progress. They urge law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation of this incident and to bring those responsible to justice swiftly. This act of violence should serve as a stark reminder of the collective responsibility shared by all to promote peace, safety, and growth within the region.
In the face of such adversity, the Ukhrul/Hunphun Village Authority appeals to the community to stand united against violence and intimidation. Together, they reaffirm their commitment to fostering a secure, nurturing environment where all individuals can thrive.
