A team of Manipur police personnel moving towards Tengnoupal was ambushed in whihc 3 police personnel were killed.
Such terrorising act committed by NSCN-IM which is in a peace talk with the Centre is highly condemnable, she said.
She stated that women vendors have resolved to impose the 24 hours bandh across the State starting 7 pm today against the inhumane act of NSCN-IM.
She further urged all the shopkeepers to endorse the bandh and added that any bandh violators will be at his or her own risk.
Medical emergency, religious activities and media will be exempted from the purview of the bandh.
Mangi Leima asked, "What were the Central paramilitary forces doing when the police personnel were ambushed at Tengnoupal and Noney ? Women, particularly mothers, cannot silently bear the loss of the police personnel's lives.
They had sacrificed their lives for the State and we will not remain silent.
We will begin to launch a series of agitation against NSCN-IM" .
