Imphal, May 16 2014 :
The 12-hour State wide bandh call given by the Ibudhou Pakhangba and Ibudhou Laisana Khubam Kanba Lup evoked mixed response and ended peacefully on Friday.
The Lup called the bandh in protest against the conduct of Kairang residents in Heingang under Imphal East who reportedly prevented members of the organisation from performing Pakhangba Cheng Hongba rites at the holy site of Ibudhou Pakhangba and Ibudhou Laisana on May 14 .
The bandh was by and large peaceful.
However, a large number of bandh supporters blocked a long stretch of Imphal-Dimapur road from Sangakpham to Koirengei, disrupting traffic movement.
But the bandh evoked mixed response across the State.
In Imphal city area, normal life was not affected by the bandh that began from 6 am and ended at 6 pm.
