IMPHAL, October 10: The 48 hour bandh called along Imphal-Ukhrul road by the JAC formed against the abduction of Irungbam Irabanta by alleged NSCN-IM cadres has crippled normal life today.
Passenger services along Imphal-Ukhrul road were off the road and the numbers of private vehicles plying on the road were negligible. Markets and most of the shops along Imphal-Ukhrul road remain shut, some educational institutes along the road also remain close and government offices were also seen with very less attendance. But, no unwanted incidents were reported on the first day today of the two day bandh.
