CCpur, August 26 2016 :
The six-day long agitation schedule rolled out by the JAC Against Anti-Tribal Bills started today with diesel autos joining the protest and the half-day shutdown witnessing a clearly contrasting response in the district revealing the deep divide amongst the tribes despite sharing a common interest.
The shutdown that began early was strictly enforced in parts of the town with several vehicles reportedly damaged by the shutdown supporters but the shutdown was confined only in the proper town area as vehicles and shops were seen plying and doing brisk business till Tuibuong area.

As announced by the JAC, diesel autos staged a protest rally along the Tiddim Road during the shutdown but the rally route was cut short till Sielmat bridge as there reportedly were oppositions from several quarters for them to move forward till the previously identified destination.
Meanwhile the JAC has thanked all for co-operating with the shutdown today and the auto owners in particular for positively responding to their call for rally.
The half-day shutdown will continue tomorrow as well, and a rally will be conducted by ex-servicemen & widows, senior citizens and college students during the shutdown.
In addition, a dharna will be held at the village level said the JAC.
