The demand for President's Rule to pave way for a separate administration gained momentum during a candlelight vigil on Thursday at Kangpokpi town.
The candlelight vigil was observed to mark 100 days of ethnic violence in Manipur at Brig M Thomas ground in Kangpokpi district headquarters.
Young and old, men and women, who participated in the candlelight vigil also laid wreaths at the bottom of the ‘Wall of Remembrance’ where photos of the Kuki-Zo people martyred in the clash were put up to pay tribute and honour.
Rev Sholal led the mass prayer ceremony after his motivational sermon during the event.
Speaking to the media CoTU Media Cell coordinator Ng Lun Kipgen said, the candlelight vigil is purely an intent to show their solidarity and support to the martyrs and victims' families and give them a message that the Kuki-Zo family is with them.
We reiterated our demand for President's Rule in Manipur and appealed to look into our demand for a separate administration at the earliest, Kipgen said.
