In a

activities including exorbitant
taxes, kidnaping, abduction,
drug abuse, etc in Kangpokpi
town and its adjoining areas a
large number of women took
out a rally which went through
the main thoroughfare of
Kangpokpi town today.
The rally was staged by
women from a cross section
of society, irrespective of
communities.
The first protest rally of its
kind in the area was organ-
ized after the women held a
fasting prayer at Kangpokpi
Christian Church from early
in the morning for peaceful
coexistence among all com-
munities within the town and
its surrounding areas.
Showing their stand
against acts of extortion, ab-
duction, robberies, drug
abuse and other unruly activi-
ties in the town, the women
rallyists held placards with the
slogans "Stop abductions",
"Stop exorbitant collection/
taxes", "Enough is Enough",
"Say no to intoxicantss", etc.
during the rally.
The women
also unanimously resolved to
intensely oppose such activi-
ties within the town.
