Imphal, September 23 2016:
Flood Victims Demand Comittee,Chandel has decided to resume their stir in the form of an indefinite economic block ade on Imphal-Moreh road, Chandel district headquarters road and Chakpikarong road from September 25 midnight, reports our Chandel correspondent.
In a statement, the committee said that the decision to impose the economic blockade was taken at a joint meeting held today at Indoor Stadium, Chandel.
The authority concerned had failed to respond positively to their demand for releasing relief funds and pro-viding compensation to the flood affected families of the district although the committee had not only staged mass protests, rallies, sit-in-protests and but also submitted memo- randa repeatedly.
The committee further said that they would intensify their agitation in the form of total shutdown at the earliest.
While urging the public to extend maximum cooperation to the victims, the committee said that they would not be responsible for any untoward incident.
