Imphal, October 27 2013:
A 36 hour general strike has been called against the murder of excavator operator/driver Maisnam Devraj all over the State with effect from 5 am tomorrow.
After Devraj was found dead at Saichang near Tupul along Imphal-Jiribam highway yesterday, a JAC was constituted and it organised a public meeting today at Laikhurembi premises of Khurai Sajor Leikai.
The public meeting decided to call a 36 hour general strike all over the State in protest against the unexplained brutal murder of Devraj.
To award befitting punishment to all the people involved in the murder of Devraj was another resolution of the meeting.
It further resolved not to claim the corpse of Devraj until the other resolutions adopted at the meeting are put into action.
Driving an excavator (JCB) belonging to one Chanam Anilkumar of Singjamei Chanam Pukhri Mapal, Devraj went to a purported work site at Kajipat on October 14 .
Since then, he went missing before he was found dead yesterday.
