Mizoram’s apex student body, Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), has called on the Central government to ensure the safety and security of Mizo students in violence-hit Manipur. Expressing grave concern over the escalating tensions following the recent killing of 10 tribal individuals, the MZP urged the Centre to temporarily reallocate Mizoram’s quota seats in technical and medical institutions outside Manipur until peace is restored.
The student body also appealed to the Lalduhoma-led Mizoram government to safeguard the Meitei community residing in the state and encouraged Manipuris to prioritize self-protection amid the ongoing crisis.
In a strong statement, the MZP criticized both the Central and Manipur governments for delays in conducting post-mortem examinations of the tribal victims at Assam’s Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH).
