Imphal, May 29 2016:
Even as Mayai Lambi was blocked for some-
time today demanding release of the five members of Kangleipak
Students' Association (KSA) arrested by police, protest demon-
strations were staged today at Bashikhong and Yumnam Leikai on
the same demand.
At around 8 am today, some people came out and blocked
Mayai Lambi at Oinam Sawombung demanding release of the
arrested KSA functionaries and members.
Shortly after, a senior police officer arrived at the spot and
drove back the bandh enforcers.
On the other hand, womenfolk staged sit-in-protest at
Bashikhong and Yumnam Leikai demanding release of the
arrested student activists.
In connection with the adulteration of common salt, two
non-local traders were pulled up by KSA volunteers.
Sub-
sequently, five volunteers of KSA were arrested by police on
Friday.
KSA general secretary Sukham Bidyananda, deputy secre-
tary Khullakpam Sanjoy, members Langoljam Rajesh,
Yumnam Luwang and Nongmaithem Biren are currently
lodged in judicial custody.
