The Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the Brutal Murder of Athuan Abonmai said the JAC will go ahead with its proposed agitations.

This was stated by the convener of the JAC, Majabung Gangmei while briefing the media at Tarung on Monday.

Gangmei claimed that the incident which led to the death of Athuan Abonmai was an outcome of security lapses and therefore, the JAC has been demanding suspension of the DC and SP of Tamenglong.

“As they (DC and SP) are the ones who are maintaining the law and order in Tamenglong, they are the ones who should be held responsible for the abduction and cold-blooded murder of Abonmai”, he added.

The convener also informed that the representatives of the JAC also met Chief Minister N Biren on Monday and reiterated their demands. But the talks ended inconclusive after the state government sought more time, he said. 

Against this backdrop, the convener said the 48-hour road blockade announced by the JAC on national highway 29 and national highway 37 will come into force from September 27 midnight till midnight of 29. He appealed to the people of the state to extend support to the road blockade.
