Imphal, January 20 2024:
Denouncing negligence of the burning issue in Manipur, a team of All India Trade Union Congress/Mani-pur State Committee (AITUC/MSC) led by its general secretary L Sotinkumar, advocates Sh Shamungou Singh and I Tombi carried out a hunger strike protest at Deer Park, Safdarjung Enclave in New Delhi on Saturday.
Informing this in a release, AITUC/MSC general L Sotinkumar informed that the protest was staged against the total negligence and apathy of the successive union and state governments towards the long-standing demand of the people of Manipur for es -tablishment of 'Highway Protection Force' and its deployment all along the National Highways to safeguard lives of the transporters, drivers, helpers and innocent passengers/commuters.
He demanded union government to take action against Kuki militants by way of abrogating the SoO agreement and deporting foreign Kuki militants so as to save lives of indigehous people from mass genocide.
He also pressed for dismissal of the present state BJP-led government led by N Biren Singh and resolving the crisis arising out of armed conflict through political solution immediately.
