Imphal, August 14 2013:
The first day of the 48-hour Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC)'s 'total bandh' in Manipur today was effective in Kuki dominated areas with no inter-state and inter-district transporters operated their services.
All the education institutes, shops and other activities were severely affected in Kuki dominated areas of Manipur.
The KSDC is demanding a separate statehood for the Kukis in Manipur.
Meanwhile, except for Churachandpur, there was no untoward incident reported anywhere in the state because of the bandh which began last midnight.

In Churachandpur, late this morning, the bandh supporters were thwarted strongly by the people who opposed the KSDC bandh.
Reports said at Zenhang Lamka area in the Churachandpur district headquarters, when the bandh supporters came and directed the shop-keepers to close their shops, the people who opposed the bandh confronted them and there were skirmishes but the police arrived and the situation was controlled.
Minutes later, similar incident happened at a place called New Bazar (New Market) in the town but that too was controlled by the police.
Meanwhile, a separate report said one hawker who supplies newspapers to Churachandpur town was attacked by bandh supporters at Kaparang village in Churachandpur district.
The report said that the scooter of the hawker was damaged in the incident.
The hawker has been identified as one Jadumani.
However, the bandh supporters after knowing that he was a newspaper hawker, they compensated him by paying Rs 4000, the report said.
The KSDC-sponsored bandh was also total in and around Kangpokpi today with normal activities coming to a grinding halt.
