Imphal, March 29:
Intensifying its movement against the Government's move to acquire additional land for expansion of the Imphal (Tulihal) Airport, the JAC Against the Acquisition of Land for Expansion and Extension of Imphal Airport will observe a 13 hour Naoriya Kendra bandh on April 1. The agitation starting from 5 am will cover all roads/streets criss-crossing the Assembly Constituency including Tiddim Road and Mayai Lambi.
Specifically mentioning that people of Malom, Ningombam, Meitram, Kodompokpi and Mongshangei/Konjeng Leikai in collaboration with the State level civil society organisations and local youth clubs would strictly implement the bandh, the JAC also cautioned all concerned against any attempt to undermine the bandh call.
Alleging that the state Government is relentlessly working to acquire fertile agricultural land at any cost for expansion of the airport inspite of vociferous opposition from the local populace, the body insisted that the Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh will be held responsible for any bandh-related untoward incident.
