Imphal, July 22 2016 :
After 123 non-local labourers were
detained and handed over to police yesterday, 147 other
non-local labourers who did not possess necessary
documents were pulled up at Awang Sekmai along Imphal-
Dimapur highway today.
Volunteers of the Advanced Women Society, Awang
Sekmai and the Awang Sekmai Protection Committee
checked inter-State passenger buses and Winger vans
today as well in solidarity with the mass movement
being spearheaded by JCILPS for enactment of a
Constitutional safeguard for protection of indigenous
people of the land.
Most of the non-local labourers
detained and handed over to police today hail from
Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Assam.
Meanwhile, mass
protest demonstrations were staged today at different
places between Sagolband and Tera in support to the
popular demand for enforcement of ILPS or a similar
mechanism in the State.
