Imphal, August 13 2015:
Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) has announced a 'statewide 12 hour public curfew' on Friday starting 4 am.
Announcing the public curfew, Assistant Media Co-ordinator, Md Kheirudin Shah Moijinmayum in press release said that media persons, medical related houses and persons, religious activities, electricity and water services will be exempted from the purview of the public curfew.
JCILPS also appealed all supporters not to disturb the above mentioned in their movements.
The statement further urged all to stage sit-in protest on August 15 from 10 am till 3 pm.
Urging all to form human chains and shout slogans from 3 pm till 4 pm, the statement also called on volunteers and other to take out torch rallies from 7 pm onwards against the State Government's response.
JCILPS said the appeal has been made since the Government has continuously failed to fulfill people's demand on implementing an inner line permit system in the State to safeguard the indigenous people of Manipur.
Media persons, medical service related houses and persons, religious activities, electricity and water services will be exempted from the purview of the public curfew.
