TAMENGLONG, September 21: Due to the 96 hours chakka bandh in Tamenglong district called by Joint Forum for Transport Welfare Association of Tamenglong and state-wide bandh imposed by National Revolutionary Front, Manipur (NRFM), normal life in the district was affected.
All types of vehicles stayed off the roads along National Highway-37 (Imphal-Jiribam and Imphal-Tamenglong Road) due to the dual bandh.
The 96 hours chakka bandh was called by the association in protest against the government`™s failure to repair the 39.5 km Tamenglong-Khongsai road while the NRFM imposed the State-wide bandh in condemnation of the forceful merger of Manipur with the Indian Union on September 21, 1949.
