IMPHAL, May 21: The All Manipur Bar Association (AMBA) has unanimously resolved to postpone its 2015-17 election scheduled earlier on May 23 in moral support to the organisations seeking government intervention on the issue of land encroachment at Dzuko Valley from the Nagaland side.
Considering the gravity of the public issue, AMBA has resolved to hold the election on May 25.
This was stated by AMBA president Khaidem Mani during a press conference held today at the office premise of the AMBA.
