Senapati, September 15 2021:
The 12-hour total shutdown in Senapati district called by Senapati CSOs headed by NPO concluded peacefully at 6pm Wednesday.
The total shutdown was imposed while fully endorsing the call given by All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) for boycotting the 'Go to Hills 2.0' programme of the state government.
Earlier, district CSOs urged for convening a special session of the state assembly to table the HAC recommended ADC Bill, 2021 and withdrawal of assembly speaker's order for inducting nine MLAs from valley assembly constituencies in the Hill Areas Committee (HAC).
The district CSOs endorsed the decision of ATSUM to boycott the 'Go to Hills 2.0' which will continue until the ADC Bill, 2021 is tabled and assembly speaker's order is withdrawn with appropriate reason.
Meanwhile, Naga People's Organisation (NPO) and district frontal organisations have expressed their gratitude to the general public of the district for their support and cooperation during the 12 hours total shutdown.
According to sources, the proposed "Go to Hills 2.0" programme was not held in the district.
