Maliwal's visit and show of support shed light on the need for compassionate responses and immediate action in such sensitive cases. Her efforts bring attention to the victims' plight and the importance of providing them with the necessary support and justice they deserve.

In a tweet, the DCW chief said, "I met the families of the two daughters of Manipur who were brutalised. A girl's husband protected the borders of the country while being a soldier. He told me that till now no one has come to meet him, I am the first one to reach him."

"Met the mother of the other girl as well. When I can reach here without security then why hasn't the CM or the rest of the administration come till now?" she added.

Following her meeting with the victims' families, the DCW chief visited the relief camp at Moirang and expressed concern about the challenging living conditions faced by the residents, including women and children.

Maliwal arrived in Manipur with a clear intent to offer assistance rather than engage in politics. She emphasized that her visit aimed to support the people amidst the ethnic strife in the state. Additionally, Maliwal shared her plan to appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani, urging them to visit the state and personally assess the extent of people's suffering.

By calling for higher authorities' attention to the plight of the affected communities, Maliwal's efforts highlight the need for immediate action and support for those enduring difficult circumstances in the state. Her non-political approach and dedication to advocating for the welfare of the people demonstrate a commitment to providing relief and ensuring that the concerns of the affected individuals are addressed at the highest levels.
