Imphal, March 30 2014:
The JAC formed in connection with the death of Moirangthem Ningol Monesori alias Monika has called a 24-hour State-wide general strike with effect from midnight of April 1 .
As the Government has failed to respond positively to the demand of the JAC, a joint meeting of various civil society organisations, women bodies and NGOs was compelled to resolve to clamp a general strike, said a press release.
On March 26, the JAC submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister O Ibobi demanding immediate arrest of Monika's husband Bikramjit's elder brother Moirangthem Basanta and his wife.
The memorandum also demanded that the case be handed over to CBI.
Monika was found dead at her husband's house on the night of March 17 .
