COCOMI seeks safety zone for farmers
Imphal: The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has called for the immediate declaration of a 'Farmer Safety Zone' with shoot-at-sight orders in vulnerable agrarian areas following the attack on a farmer on Thursday.
Ningthoujam Biren Singh, a local farmer, was shot at near an SSB security post at Phubala in Manipur's Bishnupur district. The attack reportedly took place after an alleged breach through three layers of security, including BSF, JKLI and SSB personnel. COCOMI termed the act as "a targeted and deliberate attempt to terrorise farmers, disrupt agricultural activities, and destabilise peace in the valley region".
