All Naga Students' Association, Manipur (ANSAM) has informed the general public that the NH-39 from Tadubi to Mao Gate will remain closed for all vehicular movements from 10 am to 3 pm on May 6 .
The closure is necessitated for the observance of the first death anniversary of the two students who died in the security forces' action against the rallyists supporting entry of NSCN (IM) general secretary Th Muivah into Manipur last year, a press release said.
The anniversary will be observed at Martyrs Park on NH-39 .
The association also urged all schools and colleges in Naga areas to remain closed on the day.
It may be mentioned that a United Naga Council statement also urged the general public to take part in the observance.
