Dimapur, May 18:
The Nagaland unit of Congress has called a 12-hour "total bandh of Dimapur" on May 19 from 6 am to 6 pm in protest against the Nagaland Government's failure to maintain law and order and check the spiralling prices of essential commodities.
The Congress alleged Government remained a mute spectator to the ongoing spate of factional clashes in and around Dimapur which claimed several lives.
"The upsurge of fratricidal killings and factional clashes has created law and order problem thereby affecting the people and that as a responsible political party, the Congress party cannot remain voiceless when the lives and property of our people are at stake".
The Congress said the bandh is not only to convey its protest and resentment, but also to demand from the Centre to immediately intervene in the present law and order problem in the State.
