Moreh, November 12 2020:
The ongoing protest against the eviction launched by the Moreh ICP Bypass Road Structure & Land Committee under the stand "no compensation no eviction" took a violent turn today with a large number of women coming out and confronting the cops deployed to oversee the eviction drive, reports our correspondent.
The enraged women staged the protest half nude.
Police had to use tear gas shells and smoke bombs to bring the situation under control and three women were later arrested for leading the protest.
Committee vice chairman Khup Vaiphei said that the agitation is against the move of the DC of Tengnoupal to quash the survey earlier completed by the National Highway and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited and ADB.
The committee said that the eviction drive violates human rights and demanded the immediate transfer of the DC, holding him solely responsible.
