Lamka, January 23 : Normal life in the second biggest township was affected since yesterday evening as Zomi Students' Federation imposed, in haze, an indefinite bandh on all business establishments except emergency services and transport.
The federation's swift move mid-day was an off-shoot of the identification of the dead man retrieved near the Khuga River on Tuesday at New Zoveng.
Identified as Jamkhothong of B Phaipham, and a father of two with dual spouse, the federation has been maintaining that he was done to death without any fault of his and demands an instant reaction from the Government.
With the student union backed by Zomi Council, still insistent on their demands during the talks held today at the DC official chamber normal life was affected in the entire township for the second consecutive day, today.
Assurance given by the district administration later in the day moments before the deadline of the student body and Zomi Council expires, however saves the situation heading for worse.
S Kapkhanmuan, ZSF president who was elated over the support of various student bodies in the district on the issue said the Government has promised to book the perpetrators of the crime at the earliest and agree to compensate the bereaved family according to the Government's standing orders.
Any form of imposition announced following the agitation was withdrawn later today with immediate effect from the government making their assurance formal, he said.
