Thoubal, July 03 2024:
The 48-hour general strike called by the JAC against the killing of Thokchom Ibomcha Singh begins from 6 am today in Thoubal district.
The general strike cripples normal life especially at Khangabok and the neighbouring villages and along the Asian Highway 102 .
Demanding the arrest of the culprits involved in the killing of Thokchom Ibomcha Singh, KIM Educational Society Khangabok founder, a large number of people came out and blocked the roads by placing blocks of wood and burning tyres at various places including Athokpam Arong bridge, Khangabok and Wangbal Keithel.

The JAC resolved to take extreme measures like general strike since the Government failed to probe the killing and book the culprits involved in the heinous crime within the 3-day time frame given by the JAC. JAC secretary Takhellambam Tomba Meitei while speaking in connection with the strike, said that the JAC in coordination with the public will be compelled to stage intense agitation at the State level if the Government and the relevant proscribed outfit which is suspected to be behind the killing failed to give a positive response and clarification by the time the general strike ends.
Notably Thokchom Ibomcha Singh was abducted by the members of a proscribed outfit from a tea stall at Khangabok Bazar at around 7 am of June 18 and was later found dead at Leishang Hiden, Lilong Chajing, under Singjamei Police Station on June 29 .
