IMPHAL, Jan 23 : The Manipur People`s Liberation Front, MPLF, a federation of some major underground organisations in Manipur has reiterated its commitment to enforce the general strike on Republic Day in Manipur as per the joint declaration by MPLF, KLO, TPDF and ULFA to have a general strike throughout the Northeast on the day.
A press release by the MPLF said the strike is to begin at 1am on January 26 and conclude the same day afternoon at 6pm.
The release called upon the people to stay indoors, all classes of vehicles not to ply, businesses to close, cinemas to suspend shows, any kind of celebrations to stop and airlines to drop services for the day.
All untoward incidents resulting from non compliance should be treated as self-invited, the release warned.
The release however exempted the media, medical services and water supply from the purview of the strike. It also exempted protest demonstration against the oppressive rule in the state.
It said the chaos and mayhem in Manipur and the northeast region is on account of the imposition of the Indian constitution over 58 years ago in the region.
