Imphal, December 01 2024: Even though security forces have been carrying on search operations, the whereabouts and the fate of Laishram Kamalbabu who disappeared from 57 Mountain Division headquarters, Leimakhong on November 25 still remains unknown.

On the other hand, sit-in protest continues at the main gate of the military station demanding safe return of Kamalbabu.

The JAC formed in connection with the disappearance/abduction of Kamalbabu has decided to intensify their agitation by blocking the road leading to and from the military station from tomorrow (Monday) .

JAC spokesman Ibo Moirangcha said that the army has failed to locate the whereabouts of Laishram Kamalbabu and as such, the road leading to the Leimakhong military station would be closed from December 2 .
