Imphal, March 26, 2013:
A 48-hour national highway �total blockade' has been called from the midnight of March 27 by the All Zeliangrong Students Union of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland (AZSU-AMN), Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZYF-AMN) and Zeliangrong Students Union, Manipur (ZSUM) demanding the safe release of Alice Kamei, a class nine student of Grace Reach Academy.
According to AZSU, ZYF and ZSUM, the total blockade will be imposed along national highways passing through the �Zeliangrong areas' as the first phase of agitation.
�We have served a five-day ultimatum to the state Govt of Manipur on March 20 which expired on March 25 for the safe release of Alice Kamei but since nothing concrete has come-forth, we have no other option but to call the bandh,� reasons AZSU, ZYF and ZSUM today.
Alice Kamei, reading in Class-IX at Grace Reach Academy, Hiyanglam, is the daughter Chakri(Punshichao) Kamei of Chingphu Zeliang-rong village who was kidna- pped by some persons claim- ed themselves to be from the Revolutionary People's Front/People's Liberation Army (RPF/PLA).
Alice Kamei reportedly went missing since March 10, according to the three Zeliangrong organisations.
