Imphal, September 15 2013:
Reacting against the monetary demand made by three UG groups to the pharmacies around JNIMS at Porompat, a sit-in-protest was staged in front of JNIMS gate here today.
The protest demonstration was organized by JNIMS Hospital Pharmacists Association.
One of the protesters told Hueiyen Lanpao that a month back, the proscribed PLA had asked the pharmacists to provide them with some financial assistance.
However, considering the problems faced by the pharmacists in the area, the UG group withdrew its demand.
Later, around 20 days back, PREPAK (PRO) and KCP (Luwangcha) served monetary demand of Rs 1 lakh each to the Association and asked them to close the pharmacies if they were not able to provide the said amount.
