It said the spate of violence and crime taking place in the state almost every day gives the impression that the civil society is engulfed by vicious circle and the people are left helpless.
“It is very unfortunate that in spite of public outcry, violence and crime against girls/ women keep going on in the state without respite”, it continued.
The bodies strongly appeal to all right thinking people to condemn such acts and to work together to free ourselves from the rule of a vicious circle and further urged the state government to take action for the safe release of Alice Kamei at the earliest, it said.
“We also demand the State Government to book the killer of N. Satyabhama and the culprit of rape and attempted murder of a housewife at Ukhrul and award befitting punishment”, it concluded.
