Imphal, November 15 2013 :
Normal life in State remained affected on Friday due to the 24-hour general strike called by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) formed against the killing of Manipur People's Party (MPP) vice President Haobijam Manisana, who was shot dead by unidentified armed assailants inside his own moving car along Tiddim Road near Tulihal Airport on November 13 .
All the market places, shops and other business establishments remained closed on account of the general strike called.
Inter and intra-State transport services also remained affected because of the strike which began from 5 am today.
The general strike was announced late last evening so the news did not reach all the district headquarters, sources said.
Several civil organisations have condemned the killing of Manisana amid tight security deployment near at the airport complex where he was gunned down.
