Imphal, September 14 2015:
Even as the 12-hour bandh called by Committee on Protection of Tribals Rights Chandel District (CoPoTR) along Pallel Moreh road, demanding withdrawal of the government notification for re-electing the Chandel ADC Chairman, ended without any untoward incident, the committee has decided to shut down all government offices in the district including the mini secretariat with immediate effect.
This was announced by Committee chairman Wng Victor Kohring while Speaking to newspersons after a consultative meeting held on Monday.
Wng Kohring Victor said that the decision was taken in a meeting as the State Government has failed to withdraw the notification and instead held a sitting of ADC in Imphal to elect its chairman.
While condemned the sitting as "unacceptable", Kohring said that all government offices in the district including the mini secretariat will be shut down.
However, the office of the ADC Chandel will be exempted from the proposed action.
