LAMKA, August 21: The 24-hour band called by the All Tribal Students Union, Manipur today affected normal life in Tuibang area of Lamka town in Churachandpur district.
However, the bandh which will conclude this midnight passed off without any major glitch except for a brief altercation between bandh supporters and trade union leaders in front of the police station around 7:30 in the morning.
The police came out only after the mob had dispersed.
At the same time, the freedom of press was once again undermined as the band supporters didn’t allow newspaper carriers to pick up the Imphal based papers at Tuibuang during the bandh.
