Imphal, Nov 12 Manipur Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh on Thursday said his government would take an initiative to form a committee with representatives of all communities to foster a cohesive environment among them, promote peace and inclusive development.
While meeting with the representatives of 10 small tribes at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, Singh pointed out that among the 36 communities in the state, some smaller ones did not have representation either through an MLA or a bureaucrat.
He told the meeting that he would consult all stakeholders on the formation of the committee and sought public help in the matter.
“The government will take up an initiative for the formation of a committee representing all communities of Manipur, following a query from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on whether such a panel existed to bring all communities together,” the chief minister said.
The proposed committee would aim to foster a cohesive environment among the communities and promote peace, harmony and inclusive development in the state, he added.
He maintained that the formation of the committee would help address the grievances of these smaller communities and ensure their representation in matters concerning their development.
