Announcing this to the media here in Chandel, the Convenor of the JAC Gabriel Chinir stated that today’s bandh was imposed to register protest against the indefinite bandh underway at Sora in Thoubal district saying that the indefinite bandh will hamper the process of the ongoing investigation into the killing of DK Moshilpha Maring and subsequent arrest of the culprit.
Co convener of the JAC TH Angdun while urging the people to continue refrain from any action that may flare up communal tension, pledge that the JAC will continue to protest until and unless the law enforcing agency book the mastermind culprit along with all those involved and disclose the reasons behind the killing of DK Moshilpha.

Monsang Tribe President Ng Benithan while speaking to the media strongly denounced the action of the Police Commando who by force tried to thwart bandh volunteers by firing tear gas shells at Kakching Lamkhai.
He said, “Police Commando trying to disperse JAC bandh supporters of today is a direct challenge to the people who love justice. No Police commando reacted when there was Indefinite Bandh enforced at Sora of Thoubal district that left some vehicles causing damage’.
During today’s bandh, a Hero Honda Splendor bearing registration number MN0 –IY 3420 was damaged beyond repair at Kakching Lamkhai.
Police Commandos took to firing tear gas shells to keep the agitating mob under control.
While bandh supporters were confined at strategic locations, many supporters completely blocked the road at Kakching Lamkhai putting barrier across the road, burning tubes, tyres and debris. Supporters were seen with catapults, stones, sticks etc.
At Pallel, bandh supporters blocked the road in front of the forest check post. When some bandh volunteers were asking shop keepers to down their shutter, Police personnel who were on duty interrupted and thrashed them thereby leading to a clash between the bandh supporters and the Police that left many injured in the process.
