CM Khemchand Singh assures justice to families of two slain youths in Manipur

During the meeting at the Singh expressed condolences to the families of Paoginlal Hangshing and Tinginlun Chongloi and assured them of the government's full support.
The family members urged the Chief Minister to initiate dialogue with civil society organisations (CSOs) and ensure that the last rites of the two youths were performed at the earliest.
Village chief L. Chongloi also briefed the Chief Minister on the difficulties faced by villagers following the incident.
The two youths were reported missing on October 28. Their bodies were recovered on November 1 during a joint search operation by security forces in neighbouring Senapati district.
