UKHRUL, September 6: With the Tangkhul Frontal Organizations (TFOs) tightening its grip on enforcement of the United Naga Council (UNC) -sponsored ongoing indefinite ban on vehicles movement on national and state highways in Naga areas, normal life in Ukhrul district headquarters has been disrupted as town taxis stayed off the road since day second while NH-150 continue to wear a deserted look.

The move to clamp strictures on movement of town taxis has been made to strengthen the ban call in the heart of the town as well, informed a TFO source this evening, adding that, acordingly, town taxis have been informed not to ply in the town except for two hours from 8-10 am in the morning and 2-4 pm in the evening which is strictly in consideration of the public hardships in meeting exigencies.

The town’s thoroughfare which is normally cramful of taxis, consequently, has experienced a sparse traffic movement since yesterday adding to the thinning of traffic volume due to the highways ban.

At the same time, the NH-150 along the Imphal-Ukhrul route continued to look deserted as all sorts of vehicles kept off the road, despite the strategic deployment of paramilitary forces like Assam Riffles along the highway.

A team of Assam Riffles personnel led by a commandent could also be seen patrolling along the road today.

IMPHAL, September 6: Deceased Hiyanglam MLA Maibam Junjo’s son M Chandrabir has slapped Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress president Th Shyamkumar with legal notice seeking monetary compensation over his father’s death.

According to a source, Chandrabir has sought Rs 2 crore as compensation for the untimely demise of his father (L) Maibam Kunjo Singh, charging the MPTC president of committing “tortious act” against the deceased MLA.

In his notice, Chandrabir has said his father (L) M Kunjo Singh was an active member and sincere MLA of the AITC with undying loyalty, allegiance towards the party.

Sources said the notice was sent by advocate M Manglem Singh yesterday.

Another special invitee, CEO, ADC Churachandpur Manmuanching lauded the organisers and said that through their effort, spitting in public places will be minimised.

She further dwelt on the importance of non-government organisations and the public to initiate such good works.

The brief programme was held along the Tiddim Road-side at the Nehru mark-IB Road junction around 2:30pm.

Other than the two officers, the programme was also attended by leaders of student bodies like the ZYA, ZSF, YPA and the Lamka Town chief Thangkhosuanmung Guite.

The SP, Churachandpur couldn’t attend the programme due to a prior commitment.

The spitting boxes are sponsored with a charity event of the release of a local film “Heina Peuh Ah” at the Churachandpur College campus and with financial aids from Singat MLA GS Haupu, ADCC chairman Langkhanpau Guite and EM of ADCC Kamsuanlun apart from many social workers.

CT Lian the co-ordinator of the project and chairman of CRA Biak Tonsing said that they raised a fund with the selling of the film’s disc and had spent almost Rs 1 lakh for the project to be inaugurated today.

Tonsing appealed to the Lamka locals to use the boxes particularly those who chew pan and to throw things cigarette butts.

Co-ordinator of the project told the IFP that they had been carrying out such activities in the past but lack of public awareness had hindered its utility. He also said that the people need to maintain the public properties.

“We must not wait for the government alone to act, but take the initiative by ourselves so that the government can back us up” he continued.

Sesiem, who is a core member of the project organiser thanked the general masses for their participation.
