Imphal, February 23, 2010:
Representatives of the Joint Administrative Council spearheading the ongoing ceasework strike of State Government employees stormed the Treasury Office located at Lamphelpat today on the charge that some employees working there have been doing official works.
The JAC representatives barged into the office at about 11.30 am and tried to stop the Treasury Office employees from doing their works.
But they were blocked by a team of Lamphel Police who were present there.
Unable to move inside, the JAC members squatted on the entrance leading to the office building and staged a sit-in-protest.
They shouted at the Treasury Office employees working inside using strong words to stop working.
Then they turned to the police personnel saying that they too have their stake in the ongoing cease-work strike.
Following this, police barred entry of all individuals into the building except employees of Treasury office.
