Police personnel considering the volatile situation were seen escorting the procession throughout the route.
Speaking to the media at the PCC ground, Joshikanta said that agitations will continue until the government fulfil the demands.
Clarifying to certain speculation about the agitation turning communal, he said there is no intention of being communal.
The government has failed to arrest or produce the culprits and the reality behind the killing, he observed,
He said that it is not the first time that a dead body has been found from the spot where Krishnadas’s body was recovered, however the government has continued to maintain silence and arrest those involved in the heinous crimes.
President, KANGLAMEI said it is unfortunate that the government has failed to arrest and book the culprits even after more than six days.
She further urged the police to clarify as to whether the arrested person is the person, and if he is then were there other accomplice.
