Imphal, October 19 2013 :
Khurai locals took out a rally demanding the Government to trace the stolen earth excavator and missing driver today.
The excavator went missing along with its driver Maisnam Debraj (22) s/o late M Utor of Khurai Sajor Leikai, Lairou Pukhri Mapal after it was hired by some persons on the pretext of repairing a culvert on October 14 last.
The excavator belongs to Chanam Anil of Singjamei Chanam Pukhri Mapal.
The rally started from the gate of Debraj's house at Khurai Sajor Leikai and passed through Lamlong Bazar, Telipati and Hatta before police barricaded them at New Checkon.
The rallyists held placards that read as 'Release Debraj' and 'Save Debraj's Life'.
Later, some representatives of JAC were allowed to submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister regarding the matter.
Demanding immediate steps to trace the excavator and driver Debraj, the memorandum threatened to launch agitation with the help of the people if necessary steps are not taken up at the earliest.
