24-hour general strike affects normal life in Manipur

Imphal: Normal life in Manipur was on Friday affected due to a 24-hour general strike called by a local committee to protest the killing of Manipur People's Party (MPP) Vice-President Manisana Heisnam even as MPP

MPP general Secretary Inaocha Singh, demanding immediate imposition of President's rule, said the State government had failed to protect the life of common citizens even at the tight security capital complex.



“Imphal is not the whole of Manipur,” an MPP spokesman said, adding that recent series of bomb blasts and killing of people by gunmen showed that Manipur was passing through a turmoil period now and that life was not secured.

President's rule should be imposed to stop killing of persons every day by unidentified gunmen, MPP sources said.
