All forms of vehicular movements, schools, colleges and business establishments shall cease operation/function closed during the rally, the NPO, Senapati informed.
Meanwhile, Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) endorsed the proposed mass rally being organised by the United Naga Council (UNC) on August 9 .
According to a KIM statement, the UNC rally is being organised at a critical time when tribal Kukis of Manipur are being targeted by the majority Meeteis and accordingly endorsed the UNC sponsored mass rally on August 9 .
The statement further said that successive governments in Manipur have denied Constitutional rights and institutional justice to the tribals for the past more than 50 years.
It is prudent on the part of the Central leadership to act conscientiously and expedite the processes of resolving the legitimate demands of both the tribal communities in the form of separate administration for the Kukis and in conformity with the Framework Agreement for the Nagas so as to ensure lasting peace in the beleaguered, torn-apart state of Manipur, the KIM added.
