The killing of the SDO and his two subordinate staff was a great loss to the state, it said while urging the state government to find the motive behind the killings and to book the culprits to prove they are a strong administration.
They further said they would take part in any move taken up by the people in this connection while sharing the grief of the affected families.
The People’s Protection and Development Committee has said that all the communities in the state strongly condemn the killings and urged the state government to give proper security to people working in the hilly areas and to adopt proper policies for the benefit of the people.
It said that proper punishment should be given to the culprits while promising to participate in every step taken by the people.
The All Manipur Recognised Private Schools Welfare Association while sharing the grief of the families of the deceased held a meeting of the central committee of the association today during which the members observed two minutes silence as a mark of respect.

The North East Dialogue Forum, NEDF, has condemned the killing of Dr. Th Kishan, sub-divisional officer of Kasom Khullen and his two subordinates by unidentified persons.

The Kuki National Organisation has strongly condemned the brutal killing of three officials of the government of Manipur posted at Kasom Khullen by armed men. The KNO is also duly disturbed by the fact that the bodies of the three deceased officials were dumped near Taphou, a Kuki village in Senapati district, it said while stating that the implication of this action was to surreptitiously apportion blame to Kukis. This is dangerous and so raises deep concern, it said.
The KNO urged all concerned parties to desist from engaging in activities and manoeuvrings that intend to associate and malign Kukis in issues that do not concern them.
The Vaiphei People’s Moreh block has expressed deep concern on the killing of innocent government employees of Kasom Block by unknown millitants.

In another condemnation, the Meetei Council Moreh, Hill Tribal Council, Moreh, Manipuri Muslim Council, Morehand Tamil Sang said that the killing of Kasom Khullen SDO and two other staff was another telling reminder that barbarism rules amidst us.
“Can we claim to be living in a civilized society? Whoever is behind the destardly act should be bold enough to declare and clarity. Though the act can never be justified, the criminals have the obligation to clear public unrest,” the bodies said.
Meanwhile, a joint meeting of the apex organisations in the state was held today at the Manipur Press Club.
