Imphal, August 07 2016 :
Local volunteers and Meira Paibi activists today pulled up five non-local labourers at Pheidinga and handed them over to police.
In solidarity to the popular movement being spearheaded by the JCILPS for enactment of a Constitutional safeguard for protection of indigenous people of Manipur, people of Sekmai have been keeping a close watch over entry of non-local people through Imphal-Dimapur highway.
JCILPS assistant convenor (organisation) Hayatur Rahaman Yumkhaibam said that they have received reports about buses dropping off non-local passengers before reaching check points and non-local people taking alternative routes.
JCILPS has already appealed to all transporters not to bring in non-local people who do not possess valid identification documents.
JCILPS has started due preparations to increase the number of check points and intensify the verification drive, Hayatur Rahaman added.
