Threat to ban movement of non-locals : Critically critical

The threat of the Kangleipak Students’ Association to ban the movement of non-locals is serious, very serious and it is only right that the State Government get down to the business of doing what is best for the people. If at all the threat is enforced then it will be for the loss of everyone. […]
