The JAC formed in connection with the killing of Linthoingambi and Hemanjit on Tuesday began a relay hunger strike at Takyel Kolom Leikai to press the government for recovering bodies of the two students and punish the culprits as per law of the land.
The hunger strike, which commenced with 12 women participating on the first day, will be conducted from 6 am to 6 pm by 12 women and from 6 pm to 6 am by 20 men.
Speaking to media persons, JAC members pointed out that though CBI has arrested some people in connection with case, bodies of the two students are yet to be recovered.
As such, the government must make all efforts to recover the bodies and hand them over to the bereaved families.
They also made it clear that until the bodies are handed over to the respective families, the relay hunger strike will continue.
Meanwhile, relay hunger strike was also carried out at Tera Tongbram Leikai in Imphal West and at Yumnam Patlou in Imphal East district over the same demand.
