As part of this mobilisation process, a joint meeting of the chiefs of around 40 villages and representatives of civil societies was held at New Keithelmanbi along National Highway 53 today.
At the meeting, a sub-committee comprising 12 members has been constituted to ensure the success of the proposed economic blockade on that side.
