Imphal, February 24 2022:
Umanglai Kanba Lup (UKAL) has called off the proposed 48-hours state wide bandh from midnight of February 24 to February 26 .
UKAL in a statement has said that the bandh has been called off as some people with vested interests are trying to take advantage of the bandh by creating anti-social activities in regards to the ensuing 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election.
It may be noted that the 48 hours state wide bandh was called against the rescheduling of the 2nd phase of electoral poll which falls on the sacred occasion of Lamta Thangja.
Expressing discontent over the indifference of the Election Commission of India (ECI) towards the matter, UKAL appealed to all to stage other forms of protests apart from bandh.
