In an exclusive interview to this paper, Tsering Samphal, one of team members said they would take up these issues with the state government during their meeting on Saturday.

Terming the police firing as "very unfortunate", Samphal said the sad thing was that instead of providing compensation, the police mentioned the two as accused in their records.

“This is not good. The families of the deceased were the real sufferers in an episode in which they had no role. As the two killed in the police action were the bread earners of their families, the government must consider their compensation on humanitarian grounds. The families of the two killed, are really in a very pitiable condition and deserve immediate monetary assistance,” he said.

“The administration should not indulge in violence but show love and affection to the people. Every citizen, rich or poor, is precious to the country. The way the situation was handled in Antarsuba village should be discouraged,” he added.

On Saturday, Samphal, accompanied by NCST chairperson Urmila Singh, will meet state chief secretary and other senior officers from the state welfare and tribal departments, besides P K Laheri who headed a probe into the incident and submitted his report to the government three days ago.
