The decision to call the general strike and to impose the blockade was adopted during an emergency of the Association held today.
On the other hand, another press release informed that the Jiribam sub-committee of the All Manipur Written Test Successful Candidates' Association for Primary Teacher 2006 has been constituted with N Ranjit as president and L Bijoy as general secretary.
