Imphal, May 02 2018: JCILPS women wing has demanded the State Government to release the 28 volunteers who were arrested by police unconditionally within 24 hours or face intense agitation.

Speaking to media persons at JCILPS office, Samjetsabam Memcha Leima, convener of JCILPS women wing said that people of the State have been demanding and submitting ultimatum from time to time, since 2009, for shifting the fruit vendors in front of Bhairodan Maxwell Hindi school to anotherplace.

The students, teachers and the staff of the school had even staged a sit in protest in front of the school on April 30 demanding the authority concerned to shift the fruit vendors from the area.

She said that the destruction of the fruit shops by the volunteers of the JCILPS women wing and student's wing is due to the failure of the State Government and the Imphal Municipal Corporation.

She claimed that JCILPS women wing and students wing had approached IMC but to no avail and the association was not allowed to meet the officials as well.

Demanding the State Government to release the 28 volunteers of JCILPS women wing and students wing, including Manjit Sarangthem convener of JCILPS students' wing, unconditionally within 24 hours, Memcha Leima warned that the association will launch intense agitation if the State Government fails to do so.

Today's action was not carried out intentionally against the non locals and is definitely not an Anti Indian step but it was against the State Government and the IMC, she clarified.

She also asked the State Government to prepare a Bill and pass it during the coming Monsoon Assembly Session after taking full consent of the people of both the hills and the valley and also asked the Bill to be produced before the public, apart from organising mass public convention for the people of both the hills and valley.

Memcha Leima also warned the State Government and department concerned regarding the recruitment process of 18 JNIMS dental doctors and urged for giving priority to the indigenous peoples of the State and not to the non locals.

If the State Government and the department concerned take up any steps against the desire of the people during the recruitment of JNIMS dental doctors then JCILPS along with the people of the State will launch various forms of agitation.
