KANGPOKPI, October 28: The Joint Action Committee against the killing of Khupneilal Neihsiel and Robert Hesei Kipgen has called a 20-day economic blockade from midnight of November 3.
The JAC had earlier imposed a 48-hour total bandh in all hill districts of the State starting October 18 midnight to show discontentment and dissatisfaction over the delay in furnishing the magisterial probe report pertaining to the killings by the government within the stipulated three-month time.
JAC convener Thangminlen Haokip said that the JAC`™s decision to impose the economic blockade came after a joint meeting with various Kuki CSOs today while adding that we are extremely disappointed towards the stubbornness of the State government even after the 48 hr total bandh.
The blockade will be effective in all highways of the state he added.
