Imphal, March 03 2012:
The indefinite bandh called to protest alleged arbitrary arrest of five persons by Assam Rifles troops from Moreh area and branding some of them as UG activists, has been suspended with immediate effect taking into account inconveniences faced by the general public, informed our Moreh correspondent.
Decision to suspend the agitation was arrived at a meeting which was attended by representatives of various Moreh-based organisations that however reaffirmed the stand that the arrested persons are innocent and should be released at the earliest.
It also resolved to launch agitation against the 9 Assam Rifles, whose troops were involved in the arrest of the five.
Before the meeting a protest rally was taken out at various locations of the border town, added the correspondent.
