In continuation of their cease work strike being launched since December 3, members of All Manipur National Rural Health Mission Technical Support Staff Union and Association for Block Assistant Finance, Account Managers NRM, Manipur locked up the office of State Family Welfare, which also serves as the office of NRHM.
