Imphal, January 19 2024:
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the brutal killing of Takhellambam Manoranjan Singh has called a 48-hour Statewide bandh from 5 am, January 20 to 5 am January 22 .
This move comes in light of the lack of positive response from the State Government with regard to the demands made by the JAC in a memorandum submitted to the Chief Minister on January 18, said a statement issued by Chanam Sanayaima Singh, convenor, JAC.
The JAC has urged CSOs, meira paibis and the public to support the bandh.
Essential services and religious ceremonies will be exempted from the purview of the bandh.
Notably, Takhellambam Manoranjan Singh was killed in an attack launched by Kuki militants at Kangchup on January 18 around 2 am .
