He also recalled that the Indian Red Cross Society Senapati Branch like other branches around the globe, has been doing humanitarian service for the past 20 years, and in the present Manipur crisis we have even transported dead bodies, and patients injured in the clash to Nagaland in the name of Red Cross. “We are impartial and we have no boundary. We move around and see that there are no affected people around and help them through the Red Cross not in other forms but on humanitarian grounds we serve one another,” asserted Benjamin Tao.
