General strike shortened to 24 hours after considering the ongoing Class X and XII examinations and the general situation in Manipur.
A 48-hour general strike imposed across Manipur with effect from Thursday midnight demanding the unconditional release of the three cadres of Pambei led UNLF, including its Chief of Army.
In Manipur, bandhs and blockades are called at the drop of a hat by anyone or anybody. It is the easiest way of airing a grievance or making a demand by announcing it. For those who resort to bandhs and blockades, they are simply not bothered about the humanitarian crisis that the common people face with food and essential commodities not only becoming scarce but prices soaring and becoming unaffordable.
The statewide bandh was imposed by the 'JAC against the brutal killing of Takhellambam Manoranjan Singh’ after the chief minister allegedly failed to fulfil the demands made by the JAC within 24 hours.
Only essential services and religious events exempted from the purview of the bandh.
For those who resort to bandhs and blockades, they are simply not bothered about the humanitarian crisis that the common people face with food and essential commodities not only becoming scarce but prices soaring and becoming unaffordable.
Of and on, bandh and blockades have been imposed on the highways by groups to keep up the pressure on the government. Nobody seems to bother about the humanitarian crisis that the common people are facing now with food and essential commodities not only becoming scarce but prices soaring and becoming unaffordable.
The 48-hour bandh along national highways of Jiribam road and Imphal to Dimapur road has been called by ATRPFM demanding to issue notification for ADC election or to extend the term of the ADCs.
The indefinite bandh has been called as the 10-day ultimatum set by the student bodies for the government to fulfil their demand for specialist doctors to be posted in Tamenglong district hospital ended on Thursday.
