Imphal, February 03 2018: The JAC against the killing of Ch Mani Meitei, Torbung Area, Kangleipak Lamjing Apunba Meira Lup (Kanglamei) and Kangleipak Welfare Organization (KAWA) have threatened to block transportation services along Tiddim line and winger passenger service along Thoubal line, if the State Government fails to arrest the culprit(s) involved in the hit and run case of Ch Mani Meitei at the earliest.

Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club, today, the JAC's convenor, Kh Basantakumar Sharma informed that Ch Mani Meitei (55) s/o (L) Ch Amumacha of Torbung, Bishnupur district, succumbed to his injuries after he was knocked down by a winger at Thoubal Haokha, Kakching district on January 27, at around 8 pm.
