Imphal, February 20 2011:
Road blockade imposed along Mayai Lambi in protest against picking up of two persons by suspected Army personnel continued for the second day today.
Volleyball referee Chabungbam Manglemba (31) and Longjam Suresh (38) were picked up by armed persons in combat dress on the intervening night of February 18 and 19 from their respective houses at Top Siphai under Wangoi police station.
In protest against the incident, irate locals blocked Mayai Lambi from Mayang Imphal Chabung Company to Thongkhong Luxmi Bazar yesterday.
As the whereabouts of the duo is still not known, the agitation continued today as well.
Meanwhile, a group of people from Top Siphai today submitted memorandums to Chief Minister O Ibobi and Governor Gurbachan Jagat demanding release of both persons.
