Imphal, August 31 2019:
The JAC formed in connection with the mysterious death of Ningthoujam Babysana has reiterated its stand and announced that the 48 hours bandh called from 6 am of September 2 to 6 am of September 4 still remains in place.
A statement issued by the convenor in charge of the JAC strongly condemned the State Government for trying to arrest the JAC members instead of fulfilling its demands and releasing the already arrested members.
It warned that such antics of the authorities will not help the issue to subside but will only lead to more problems later on.
The JAC then appealed to the Chief Minister to respect the sentiments of the people so as to bring peace and an end to the problem at the earliest.
On the other hand, the JAC reiterated that its stand remains unchanged and the 48 hours all Manipur bandh called by it will go ahead as announced.
It then urged all the people, CSOs, clubs and Meira Paibis to support the bandh.
Medical services, religious ceremonies and emer- gency services will be exempted from the bandh, it added.
