Imphal, June 28 2023:
In protest against absence of response from Sabungkhok with regard to the victimisation of two women, Unity Khurai Meira Paibi Lup has imposed a 12-hour bandh in Khurai area from 6 am Thursday.
Addressing a press meet at Khurai Tinsid Road on Wednesday, Lup member Nangom Ibemcha said that the bandh is being imposed in condemnation of the victimisation of two Meira Paibi activists on June 23 .
She continued that although such agitation is not recommendable as the state is passing through a critical juncture, there is a need for all to understand the principle of the same to prevent a repeat of similar incidents against women in the future.
All actions will be called off once the locals of Sabungkhok clarify and provide a proper response on the matter, she said, while adding that the bandh will be relaxed for the Muslim community who will be celebrating the Eid al-Adha festival.
