Imphal, Dec 18: JAC has burnt the effigies of chief engineer, PHED, Imomcha and Kesho Meitei of KCP (MTF) against the govt’ inability to meet the demands of JAC formed in connection with the killing of chawkidar of Irilbung water supply scheme and his son Yaipu.
The JAC has also called a 24 hour general strike from the midnight of December 19 to the midnight of December 20.
While talking to media convenor of JAC’s standing committee Manihar Luwang said, the govt. remains a silent spectator in such killing.
It is of no use to favour CE, PHED, Imomacha. The CE should bear the responsibility of the father-son killing. The KCP(MTF) has claimed the killing but the son of the chawkidar is not serving in water supply deptt. The JAC asked the reason for the killing of his son. JAC also asked to kill all the member of the family.
The convenor further appealed all civil organizations to support the 24 hour general strike.
