Congress MP A. Bimol Akoijam has expressed serious concern over what he described as a “coordinated attack” targeting recently resettled internally displaced persons (IDPs), terming the incident deeply disturbing and indicative of major lapses in security arrangements.

Addressing the media, Akoijam said the attack highlighted the failure to effectively disarm armed elements, raising serious questions about the government’s approach to post-conflict rehabilitation and the safety of vulnerable communities. He emphasised that the resettlement of displaced families cannot be sustained unless adequate security is ensured on the ground.

“The coordinated nature of the attack clearly shows that disarming armed groups has not been properly carried out. This is a matter of grave concern, and the government must take appropriate and immediate action,” the Congress MP said.

Akoijam further stated that he has raised the issue in Parliament, urging the Centre to review its security strategy and fix accountability. He reiterated that he would continue to pursue the matter in the House until concrete measures are taken to safeguard IDPs and restore confidence among affected communities.
