Chandel, October 31 2013:
The 24-hour General Strike called by Joint Action Committee on Selected Beneficiaries under PMEGP 2011 Chandel District from midnight of October 30 affected the schedule of the interview for selection of beneficiaries under PMEGP 2013-14 which was supposed to be held at Chandel today.
Accordingly, the said interview has been deferred indefinitely by the DIC Chandel.
Even if the Strike did not affect the normal life much in the commercial centre of the district Head quarter where most of the shops were seen opened and private vehicles running on the roads, passenger buses plying between Imphal and Chandel, DIs and Sumo plying between Pallel and Chandel and between Chakpikarong and Chandel were severely affected.
The DC complex where the interview was supposed to be held also wore a deserted look with few applicants turning up to appear for the interview.
The State Bank of India Chandel Branch remained closed thereby creating lots of inconveniences to its customers and general public.
