Imphal, March 13, 2010:
The five-day old indefinite Moreh bandh called by the Integrated Check Post (ICP) Affectted Pattadars from the midnight of March 9 will be relaxed for 12 hrs from 6 am to 6 pm tomorrow (Sunday, March 14). Ginsei Lhungdim, General Secretary of Hill Tribal Council (HTC), Moreh has issued a notice in this regard today.
The HTC informed all those stranded at Moreh, Imphal or elsewhere to take the opportunity to move to their destinations during the 12 hrs period.
The bandh will be intensified just after 6pm tomorrow, the notice said.
Meanwhile, people from Imphal or elsewhere, who got stranded at Moreh for the past five days, are reportedly suffering due to their pockets and purses running dry.
Most of them have finished their money and have no more money to have meals and pay for the room at the hotels.
Some of those stranded people went to Moreh Police Station and requested the police to escort them out of Moreh before they starve to death.
However, police reportedly told them to go to HTC, Moreh and seek their help.
The stranded people expressed astonishment over the reply of the police.
