Expressing concern about the ongoing crisis in Manipur, the influential women's committee of the iconic women’s market in the heart of Imphal city on Friday urged the prime minister, Narendra Modi, to take urgent steps to end the months old conflict, considering the unending sufferings of the people of the state wherein many women have become widows due to the conflict.
