JCILPS announces 14-hr general strike on Jul 14

IMPHAL, July 12: The Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) has today announced a 14-hour state-wide general strike from 5 am on July 14. Announcing the general strike

IMPHAL, July 12: The Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) has today announced a 14-hour state-wide general strike from 5 am on July 14.

Announcing the general strike in a press release, the committee which is spearheading the collective demand for implementation of ILPS in the state said religious processions, electricity, water supply and media will be exempted from the purview of the strike.

The release maintained that the ongoing collective agitation demanding implementation of ILPS in the state is to safeguard the indigenous people and future generation from the incessant influx of outsiders into the state.

Endorsing the firm stand of the JAC Against the Brutal Killing of Sapam Robinhood to not accept the dead body of the student who was killed in police action while taking part in a protest demanding ILPS implementation, it cautioned that the curfew on non-locals may further continue in case the government fails to convene Assembly session to pass a fresh bill within a stipulated time.

It will be better for the government to act swiftly on core issues including ILP pertaining to the state and not wait wrath of the public, it said.

The committee, in the release appealed to the people to continue with different forms of democratic agitation like torch rally and sit-in-protest till a fresh bill in place of MRVT & MW Bill, 2015 to safeguard the indigenous people is passed by the government.

JAC wants concrete assurance from govt before accepting Robinhood`s body

IMPHAL, July 12: The JAC is not ready to accept Robinhood`™s body even if the government has withdrawn the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrant Workers Bill, 2015, chairman

IMPHAL, July 12: The JAC is not ready to accept Robinhood`™s body even if the government has withdrawn the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrant Workers Bill, 2015, chairman of the JAC Hemchand Roy told IFP in a telephonic conversation.

He said the JAC formed in connection with Robinhood`™s death is firm in its stand that it will not accept or claim Robinhood`™s body until the government gives a written assurance to implement the ILPS or a similar law which would control the rampant influx of non-locals in the State.

He said, the government has been repeatedly urged by the Joint Committee and various other organisations to enact an acceptable law to check the rampant influx of outsiders which is posing a serious threat to the very existence of the indigenous people, but the same has remained neglected by the government even though many an Assembly session have been held.

The government, he said has cheated the people of the State on the issue on several times and now there is no turning back until a concrete assurance is given, he added.

He also told the reporter that the JAC will not fall prey to such tactics as extending ex-gratia or suitable job to the next kin by the government.

He further urged the government to implement the ILPS in a stipulated time to deliver justice to Sapam Robinhood who sacrificed his life for the people of State.
