Maring Uparup Assembly (MUA) has announced a 48 hour bandh along Imphal-Moreh highway beginning from midnight of September 16 in protest against the passing of three anti-tribal Bills and re-election of Chairman of ADC Chandel and formation of the council at Imphal.
In a statement, MUA president L Modun Charang appealed to the State Govt to annul the re-election of Chandel ADC chairman, based in Imphal.
MUA strongly condemned Darshingso, CEO, ADC Chandel and the DC, who are allegedly responsible for the confusion regarding ADC formation in Chandel district.
The two officers will be held responsible for any untoward incident arising out of the formation of ADC in the district, it said.
MUA only recognises KSM Mathew Maring as the chairman of ADC Chandel, who was elected to the post on Sept 9 at Chandel, it said.
MUA also strongly objected the three anti-tribal Bills passed by Manipur Legislative Assembly on Aug 31.MUA shared the grief of the bereaved families of nine tribal martyrs who made the supreme sacrifices for the protection of tribal rights and ancestral land.
