Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) or Mizo student's federation leaders led by its new president Lalsangzuala Ngente today urged tribal people to stand frim to ensure protection of their safeguards and rights.
The leaders were attending a meeting of different organisations on the occasion of launching tribal movement in Manipur at Churachandpur.
The MZP leaders also visited the morgue where nine people were killed in police firing during the recent agitation against three impugned legislation enacted by the special session of the Manipur assembly.
They covered the coffins with the Mizo shawl or 'Puan' called 'Tawlhlohpuan', traditionally given to brave of the bravest warriors, and also handed over the traditional ex-gratia to the kin of the slain agitators.
They also visited 48 injured tribals and handed them traditional gifts from the MZP members.
