Few days ago it was with the announcement by the chief minister of Manipur –N Biren Singh that the ban on the internet was lifted after month’s chaos and cut off.

In addition to the case of two students- Hijam Linthoingambi and Phijam Hemit who were allegedly kidnapped on 6th of july 2023, another horror of torture and killing of Irengbam Chingkheinganba and his cousin Sagolshem Ngaleiba have also grabbed the eyes of International communities. With the intervention of CBI to probe the hopes of impartial investigation and Justice have been installed in the hearts of the citizens.
