Imphal, August 28:
Assistant Agriculture Officer Meisnam Norendro, who is charge of AO and his private driver identified as Nando have been reportedly abducted by KCP (MC) on August 26 .
Their whereabouts are still not known.
Both Norendro and Nando are residents of Keishampat Hodam Leirak.
After being abducted, KCP (MC) had reportedly informed the family members that they have been abducted not for any personal reason but in connection with matters related to the Agriculture Department.
In the morning of August 26, Norendro had gone out along with his driver to the office.
But at around 3.30 pm, a telephone call was received from a caller who identified himself as an activist of KCP (MC) informing the family that both of them are in the custody of the outfit.
Appealing for the safe release, people of the local area staged a Wakat Meepham at Hodam Leirak Machin here today.
A similar protest demonstration was also staged by the staff of Agriculture Department in front of the gate of the Department at Sanjenthong demanding safe release of the abducted officer on humanitarian ground.
Talking to mediapersons on the sideline of the protest demonstration, Director of Agriculture Department RK Nayansana informed that there is no demand or threat as such from KCP (MC) but there was from the side of KCP (City Meitei).
However, as it was beyond the capacity of the Department, the demand of the outfit had not been entertained.
