IMPHAL, September 16: In protest against the passing of three `anti-tribal`™ bills, ADC Chairman Re-election and forming of ADC Chandel at Imphal, the Maring Uparup Assembly has called a 48 hours bandh along Moreh-Imphal road on National Highway-102 with effect from today midnight.
Announcing the bandh call in a statement, the MUA warned of launching different forms of agitation if the government continues to discriminate the people of Chandel district.
It appealed to the government to cancel the re-elected Chairman of ADC Chandel which is based at Imphal.
Condemning Darshingso CEO AOC Chandel and DC Chandel who are responsible for creating confusion in the district, the MUA in the statement cautioned that the two officers should be held responsible for any untoward incident arising out of AOC Chandel.
MUA is observing their activities since they assumed the office and hence this time, the assembly will not tolerate their insincerity towards Maring, the statement said.
Reiterating its stand of recognizing Mathew Maring as the Chairman of ADC Chandel, who was elected on September 9 and set to function from Chandel district, the MOA strongly objected the three bills passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31.
