Imphal, July 06 2014:
The Joint Action Committee against the killing of Heitlungshel Khaling @ KH Maring of Nungourok Village in Chandel District has called off its proposed indefinite Bandh along the Imphal - Moreh section of National Highway No.102 today.
The JAC earlier announced that the indefinite bandh would begin from July 7 in protest against the non fulfillment of its demands by the State Government.
Speaking to media persons, Angdun Maring, Secretary of the JAC said the proposed indefinite bandh has been called off temporarily following an appeal made by Local MLA D.Korungthang and his assurance to pave way for negotiation with the Government at the earliest.
However, the Secretary of the JAC warned to continue with the indefinite bandh on National Highway, if the state government fails to fulfill its charter of demands which include arrest of the persons involved in the killing and to provide adequate ex-gratia as compensation to the bereaved family among others.
