Imphal, August 11 2016 :
Vehicular movement along
Imphal- Moreh road came to a
grinding halt owing to the
indefinite bandh called by the
JAC Against the Murder of M
Jamkholal Zou alias George.
Bandh supporters prohib-
ited vehicular movement since
early morning at H
Kotlenphai village.
They also
put up banners and placards
denouncing the killing and
demanding action against the
culprits.
Due to the bandh, all com-
mercial and private vehicles
stayed off the road.
However
emergency services, media and religious related vehicles were allowed to pass
through after proper verification.
Speaking to mediapersons, a member of the JAC said the
indefinite bandh was imposed as the State authorities failed to
take up appropriate action(s) against those involved in the
murder of M Jamkholal Zou.
The bandh was not directed
against any particular armed group or individual, he stated.
He
said factional killing amongst SoO signatory groups will con-
tinue and it will disturb peace in the district if no action is
taken up against the responsible organisation (s) or individual
(s).
While demanding immediate action, the JAC member said
it will intensify their agitation till necessary action is taken up
against the responsible group (s)/individual (s).
It may be mentioned here that M Jamkholal Zou, a senior
cadre of UKLF was murdered and dumped in Menal river
along the international boundary of Manipur and Myanmar
after he was abducted from his lodging hotel at Moreh on July
2 by some cadres of a rival group.
