Imphal, August 11:
The Manipur Telephone Bhavan, housing offices of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), was remained closed today following threats from unidentified persons, BSNL sources said.
Some unidentified persons had asked the BSNL Imphal authorities to close the offices at Manipur Telephone Bhavan till August 15 and wanred them of dire consequences if the offices were open.
The BSNL sources refused to comment whether the threat was connected with the ongoing �close all offices� programme of the agitationists demanding withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act from the State.
The police said some agitationists had asked all Central Government offices including BSNL to remain closed as a part of the civil disobedience movement which entered its third day today.
Reports from the districts said several State and Central Government offices remained closed today.
