Jiribam, August 08 2023:
The 24-hour general strike called by Jiri Development Organisation (JDO) since 8 pm yesterday cripples normal life in Jiribam district.
Market places, schools, colleges and offices remain shut during the general strike called by JDO against the transfer of Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police of Jiribam amid this crucial juncture in view of the ongoing conflict besieging the State since May 3 last.
Security forces were deployed at various places in the district to avoid any unwanted incidents.

With regards to the strike, JDO president E Dewan Singh said that they have been compelled to resort to general strike since the authorities concerned have failed to address the grievances of the public in connection with the transfer order of Jiribam SP and DC.
JDO had made their stand clear against the transfer order earlier and urged the authorities concerned to stay the transfer order since both the high ranking officials play crucial roles in maintaining peace and healthy relations among the various communities in the district against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, he said.
Dewan went on to express discontent that no positive measures have been taken up in connection with the matter despite the earnest appeal by the locals.
He further cautioned that intense form of agitations will be staged after the general strike if the Government still fails to actualise the demands raised.
