ANSAM 72-hr ‘chaka bandh’

In protest against “undemocratic and suppressive acts” of Manipur government, the all Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM), in pursuance of its joint decision with united Naga council (UNC), has called for a 72-hour “chaka bandh” from July 12, 6 p.m. in all the Naga areas. ANSAM in a press communiqué released by its publicity wing, has urged Naga people and general public to extend their solidarity by restraining themselves from travelling in any kind of vehicles during the bandh. It has, however, exempted emergency and essential services such as medical, electricity, fire-service, water supply, postal and telecom services from the purview of the bandh. “Any untoward incidence arising out of violation of the proposed restriction will be at one’s own risk,” it cautioned.
