Imphal, September 19 2011:
Khuraijam Rajkumar Singh, who has been arrested by the police for his fast unto death stir over the demand for upgradation of Jiribam sub-division to a revenue district, has been flown to Imphal from Silchar Airport today morning after his condition deteriorated and since there are no qualified doctors to look after him at Jiribam PHC.
Rajkumar started his fast unto death stir since 11 am of September 15 and he was subsequently arrested by Jiribam police after his health condition deteriorated and kept him at Jiribam PHC for treatment.
Before being flown to Imphal, Rajkumar reiterated his stand to continue fasting until the demand for upgradation of Jiribam sub-division to a full-fledged revenue district is realised.
In support of Rajkumar, womenfolk continue to participate in the hunger relay strike staged in front of MSF Jiribam
branch office.
