D Korungthang came to Moreh today and talked with the agitating CSOs.
While appealing to the authorities concerned to withdraw the FIR registered against the two individuals allegedly assaulted by commandos and currently undergoing treatment at Imphal, Ginsei Lhungdim said that more intense forms of agitation would be launched if the people's charter of demands are not fulfilled at the earliest.
Hill Tribal Council, Moreh agreed to suspend the bandh after holding a meeting with MLA D Korungthang, Tengnoupal DC M Rajkumar, Members of Chandel ADC and leaders of several Chandel-based CSOs.
Earlier in the day, police fired several rounds of tear gas shells and smoke bombs to drive away bandh supporters who came out to roads and public places defying restrictions imposed under CrPC Section 144.With the bandh supporters retaliating by pelting stones, violent confrontation went on today too.
It is said that both sides suffered some casualties.
A large number of security reinforcement arrived at the border town late last night.
