Manipur: COCOMI Demands Safety After Farmer Attack

After a farmer was shot near his fields, a group called COCOMI wants to protect farmers.

They want areas around farms to be 'Farmer Safety Zones' where anyone with weapons who isn't supposed to be there could be shot.

They think the attack was meant to scare farmers.

COCOMI also wants the government to figure out how the attacker got past security, to give farmers more security, and let them farm without fear.

They want the government to provide the victim's family with support as well.
