IMPHAL, June 18 NNN: United Naga Council (UNC) has vowed to intensify it stir with a series of agitations soon against Manipur Government . However, the UNC did not spell out the nature of its agitation nor the time to resume.
The UNC sponsored 48-hour bandh in ‘Naga areas’ of Manipur will end tonight (June 18 midnight).
UNC vice president TS Warngam informed NNN that many more protests will follow soon after the ongoing 48-hour bandh that ends Tuesday midnight.
He said that the UNC feels ‘very sad’ to learn that the Manipur Government has ‘always snubbed’ its demand that it has not discussed it even for a single minute in the current monsoon session of the state assembly.
Except for Imphal-Churachandpur inter district route, all the vehicular movements plying between the state capital Imphal and the district headquarters have been halting since Monday.
Educational institutions, shops and other business related activities halted today in the district headquarters of Ukhrul, Chandel, Tamenglong and Senapati. Inter-state public transports too did not operate following the UNC bandh.
However, there was no untoward incident reported anywhere due to the bandh.
