Imphal, April 15 2009:
Questioning the rationale of participating in the upcoming Lok Sabha election in the light of the failure of the Government to take up any action in connection with the killing of Kasom Khullen SDO Dr Th Kishan and his two sub-ordinate staff, the voters of Thangmeiband Assembly Constituency have decided to stay away from voting in the election.
A decision to this effect was arrived at among others during a meeting jointly organised by Thangmeiband United Club and All Thangmeiband Meira Paibi Lup at Thangmeiband Youth Centre today.
Other resolutions adopted during the meeting include to prevent election campaigning and entertainment programme related to the election in any part of the Constituency and to conduct awareness programme among the people to ensure successful implementation of these resolutions.
