Imphal, April 17 2013:
The Chandel Naga People's Organization has announced an indefinite bandh in the whole of Chandel district from midnight of April 19 against the failure of the Central and the State Govts in fulfilling its demand to shift KYKL (MDF) surrendered cadres from 20 Assam Rifles located in the heart of the district headquarters of Chandel.
BD Betha Anal, General Secretary of CNPO said that the organization, in this matter has submitted a memorandum to the Home Minister Gaikhangam and the Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar on March 27 and April 6 respectively.
However, no response from the side of the Govt has been received till date.
Therefore, the CNPO has no option but to go ahead with the bandh and economic blockade if the Govt continues to pay a deaf ear.
Essential services would be exempted from the bandh.
