Manipur, May 16 -- The Indigenous People's Forum Manipur (IPFM) informed that it had submitted a memorandum with a report to Chief MinisterN Biren Singh about the outbreak of illegal migrants from Myanmar at Phaikoh, Nambisha, Choro, Ashang Khullen and Namlee villages of Kamjong district in 2023 but that it was ignored by the government.

It is very shocking and we want to know what further steps the government is planning", said Ashang Kasar, convenor of IPFM.

He was speaking during a press conference at the Manipur Press Club on Thursday. ...
