Advocate Colin Gonsalves said the situation in Manipur has become "very extreme". "As long as these armed groups are not disbanded, it will escalate. Last night, 3 tribals killed and 1 beheaded, first beheading of tribals.The Kukis are not attacking. Kukis are defending. Meitis are crossing the lines. The army has stated that they're not being allowed to do their job..." he said.바카라 웹사이트
