Manipur Unrest: CVDF Leads Protests Against Brutal Killing of BJP MLA

The Central Village Defence Force organized a protest march in Churachandpur, condemning the death of BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte amidst ethnic violence. Valte, a former MLA, was assaulted in May 2023 during clashes between the Kuki-Zo and Meitei communities and succumbed to his injuries in February 2024.

In Churachandpur, the Central Village Defence Force (CVDF) took to the streets on Friday, voicing their outrage over the death of BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte. This road march mourns the victims of ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur, which claimed Valte's life after he endured a violent mob attack in May 2023.

CVDF Liaison Officer Rose Ngaihte highlighted the need for justice, urging government intervention. She criticized the state's handling of the crisis, particularly Valte's demise. Ngaihte warned that the currently 'peaceful' march might take a turn if demands for justice remain unaddressed by authorities.

Amidst the chaos that began on May 3, 2023, Valte sought relief for his constituents and met the then-chief minister. Tragically, on his return, he was brutally attacked. Despite medical treatments in Delhi, Valte succumbed to his injuries in February 2024, leaving the nation grieving a dedicated public servant.
