Thoubal, August 09 2023:
The Thoubal and Kakching District Apunba Lup (KATDAL) is all set to launch a massive silent sit-in protest agitation along the national highway in Thoubal and Kakching demanding the state government to solve the present crisis in Manipur at the earliest, on Thursday.
Addressing media persons at its Wangjing office on Wednesday, TAKDAL convenor W Jotinkumar said that the body takes serious note of the inability of the state and the central government to control the violence unleashed by the narco-terrorists in the state since May 3 last wherein hundreds of people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless.
He also condemned the failure of the authority concerned to acknowledge the demand of TAKDUM for calling a special assembly session in the first week of August and bringing up the issue in the on-going Parliament session.
Therefore, to highlight the grievances of the people of Manipur to the Prime Minister and before his speech in the Parliament on August 11 so that he can take up the issue on the floor of the house, TAKDUM will organise a silent sit-in protest along the national highway in both the districts from 11 am to 1 pm of Thursday, he said and added that during the protest agitation all movement along the highway will be blocked with exception to emergency and medical related services.
