Imphal, August 02: An 18-member delegation of the North East Students Organisation (NESO), an apex body of eight students’ associations of seven northeastern states, arrived in Imphal on Tuesday to promote peace and ethnic harmony in the strife torn Manipur.
The NESO delegation would visit various districts and meet the cross section of people including Meitei and Kuki, inmates and displaced people and civil society organisations to assess the prevailing situation and facilitate efforts to establish lasting peace in the violence-affected Manipur.
The NESO organised candlelight vigils in all state capitals of the northeast on June 28 in solidarity with the people of Manipur.
