In a statement, Mr. Velmurugan demanded strict punishment for those involved, and called for the Central and the State government to take measures to restore peace in Manipur. He said the Union government should conduct a detailed probe into the violence.

Mr. Vijayakant, in a statement, blamed the inaction of the Centre in restoring peace in the violence-hit Northeastern State, for such incidents. He said the Centre should control the violence with the help of the army and ensure that such incidents do not take place.
