Imphal, September 19 2014 :
Continuing the demands to implement Inner Line Permit System in the State, students and public today staged a sit-in protest at Kongba Kshetri Leikai.
Speaking to mediapersons, one of the women protesters asserted that people in the State have been collectively demanding the implementation of the inner Line Permit System (ILPS) in the State.
However, instead of heeding to the grievances and demands of the people peacefully, the State Government has opted for violence upon the people especially students who have been protesting for the implementation of the system.
She added that it would be wiser on the part of the State Government to understand the genuine demands of the public and act accordingly.
Meanwhile, Khurai Thoidingjam Leikai Lamjing Lup and women of Ayangpalli also organised a sit-in protest in their respective areas.
