Imphal, September 10, 2009:
The Moreh Block Chiefs' Association has called indefinite bandh along Imphal-Moreh section of NH 39 with effect from September 12, reports our correspondent.
Speaking to Moreh based correspondents here today, president of the Moreh Block Chiefs' Association Ngamthang Mate decried the objection raised by a single community of Chandel district against the new DC H Deleep and prevention of the DC from assuming his office.
Pointing out that Chandel district is inhabited by different communities, Ngamthang lamented that prevention of the new DC from assuming his office in the interest of a single community was most unfortunate for other communities.
Saying that the Moreh Block Chiefs' Association would not accept any new DC in place of H Deleep, Ngamthang appealed to the Government to take up necessary measures in the larger interest of the different communities of Chandel district so that Chandel DC H Deleep can assume his office by September 11.
