Imphal, February 20:
In protest against the abduction of PWD Surveyor of Works Ngangbam Manglemjao and IFCD SO Ngangbam Shanti of Kangla Shangomshang by the KLA, a large number of Meira Paibis and local club volunteers picketed the PWD office this afternoon.
The protest movement
was called off only after Works Minister K Ranjit talked with the protesters at his office chamber.
K Ranjit while stating that
efforts are on to affect safe release of the abducted engineers reportedly appealed to the Meira Paibis and local club volunteers
to withdraw their agitation for two days.
However, the protesters maintained that the Imphal-Ukhrul road and the Imphal-Saikul
road will be closed indefinitely from the next day in case the two engineers are not released within two days.
