Hundreds of women with the open support of youths took out torchlight processions at different places at the periphery of Imphal.
A few hundreds of women took out the torchlight procession at Sekmaijin and its fringe areas like Uchiwa.
They carried burning flames of kerosene fuelled bamboo staff.
They also shouted slogans demanding implementation of the ILP , condemning the police brutalities and demanding the resignation of the 57 MLAs.
Though there is curfew in these areas there was not much interference from the police.
Torchlight processions were also taken out at Moidangpok and Patsoi areas.
Attempts to take out such processions in areas nearby Imphal were also made although police foiled the same.
The angry women activists said that they shall continue their campaign till a bill on ILP is passed.
