Imphal, July 23 2018:
Womenfolk of CADA and Nupi Samaj attempted to storm the Assembly complex raising slogans against implementation of Manipur Liquor Prohibition (Second Amendment) Bill 2018, providing license for alcohol brewing etc today.
However, they were prevented from going further by police near Nirmalabas School traffic point and were diverted towards Kangla Gate instead.
Speaking to media persons at Kangla Gate, Nupi Samaj president Thokchom Ramani said that the womenfolk and mothers of the State vehemently condemn the Government for ignoring the demand for banning alcohol and instead taking up steps to legalise alcohol in the State.
She further warned that they will take up drastic measures if the Government goes ahead and pass the Bill despite the strong opposition from the people.
