Manipur, Sanaleibak (Land of Jewels) and also fondly called the Switzerland of the East by the 1st Prime Minister of India, Late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, has, of late, become famous for many wrong reasons and one of them is bandhs and strikes.

We are all familiar with the terms like lightning bandh, dawn to dusk bandh, 12 hours, 24, 36, 100 hrs, 100 days bandh, economic blockade, counter economic blockade, bandh supporters bandh, anti band supporters bandh etc. We are very confident that Manipur is unofficial Guinness World Record Holder as far as Bandhs and Strikes are concerned.
