It is a pity and an innocent woman and her child has lost their lives to the activities of incompetence and insecurity. The state governor has promised to create a security and human rights committee in addition to the present Judicial Panel of Inquiry and we believe such a committee would take care of these issues, bring those involved to book and compensate victims of police and military brutality.

We are right now accessing the situation and if something tangible is not done another protest looms”
