Modi Ji please help, says Boxing Champion Mary Kom

The situation in Manipur is cause for concern, says Boxing Champion Mary Kom, and government should take a swift action for the safety of the people.

Manipur, a state in northeastern India, has been gripped by violence and unrest in recent days. The situation has become so dire that even Boxing Champion Mary Kom took to Twitter to seek help from the government and media establishments. She said, "The situation is very bad, no one is safe. We want peace and harmony."

The cause of the unrest is a "Tribal Solidarity March" called by the All Tribal Student Union Manipur (ATSUM) in Torbung area of Churachandpur. The march was organized to protest the demand of Meiteis for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. The demand has been a longstanding issue between the Meiteis and other tribal communities in the state.

However, the march took a violent turn, with clashes between the protesters and the police. The violence soon spread to other parts of the state, and several districts were affected.

In response to the violence, the government has deployed the Army and Assam Rifles personnel in several affected districts in Manipur. The Army conducted area domination exercises on Wednesday night to restore law and order in the state.

The government has also imposed curfew in certain areas to prevent the situation from escalating further. The curfew has been in place since the violence broke out and will remain until further notice.

The media has a crucial role to play in spreading awareness about the situation in Manipur. By highlighting the plight of the people affected by the violence, the media can bring the attention of the authorities to the situation.
