ACOAM Lup demands removal of all militant camps from Manipur

Imphal, Feb 3 : The All Club Organisation Association and Meira Paibi Lup Kangleipak (ACOMALUP) has demanded that all camps belonging to the NSCN(IM) should be removed from Manipur.

President of the organisation Indrakumar briefing media persons here today said the NSCN(IM) has three designated camps in Manipur and the government should immediately close down the camps.

The organisation, however, welcomed the resolution of a stand off between Assam Rifles personnel and NSCN(IM) cadres at Siroy, Ukhrul district.

The AR personnel had surrounded 25 cadres of NSCN(IM) for allegedly trying to set up camp at Ukhrul district. After prolonged negotiations the ultras went away yesterday.

Chandrakumar Khumancha, Gen Secy of the organisation said the government and the NSCN are on ceasefire. But it was within the territory of Nagaland.

”No camps can be established in Manipur,” he added.

The Manipur government should act, otherwise it would become a non-existent government, he added.
