Imphal, Aug 13 NNN : The United Naga Council (UNC) has called a 96-hour bandh in “Naga areas” of Manipur from the midnight of August 20 in protest against New Delhi’s adamant stand of not initiating to resume the suspended dialogue on ‘Alternative Arrangement” for Manipur Nagas.
The UNC said the bandh will be followed by other forms of agitation.
On Monday, the Naga body highlighted the background on its move taking up the present step.
“Therefore, as per the standing decision, a 96 hours total bandh will be enforced from the midnight of the 20th August, 2012, which will be followed up with other protest activities to protest against the lack of sincerity and political will on the part of the government of India,” stated the UNC.
All constituent Naga tribe organisations, frontal organisations, regional organisations, tribe women and students organisations are directed to stringently and effectively enforce the total bandh in their respective jurisdictions.
