Close on the heels of the gruesome incident of rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in Muallungthu village allegedly by a Myanmarese national, village councils under Aizawl South III assembly constituency issued quit notice to all Myanmarese migrants residing in the constituency.

A joint committee of the village councils of the constituency, which included the village council of Muallungthu issued an order asking Myanmarese nationals not to enter the constituency and asked all those currently staying to immediately leave.

Justifying its order the joint village council committee said yesterday that the eviction order was issued to prevent re-occurrence of such ghastly incident within the constituency.

A Myanmarese national, Henry Vanneichung was accused of murdering a five-year-old girl after raping her on November 8 near Muallungthu village.

Vanneichung was nabbed at nearby Sateek village by the villagers and was lynched after he was handed over to the search party from Muallungthu the next day.

The incident shocked the whole state which was recovering from the rape and murder of another five-year-old girl at Thakthing locality in Aizawl on October 18. The accused, Lalrammawia, is now incarcerated at the central jail near Aizawl.

The two incidents and other recent incidents of sexual molestation and rape prompted the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) or the Women Federation to observe ‘Black Day’ yesterday and a massive protest rally was organised in Aizawl.

The demonstrators at the rally offered mass prayer asking for an end to violence and crime against minors and women.

They demanded that the harshest punishment should be awarded to the rapists and murderers in accordance with the laws of the land.

There have been 331 incidents of rape since 2006 till November this year in the state and the number of rape victims were 344.
