The Statesman Bhubaneswar|December 29, 2024

STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

The strike, which began at 6 p.m. yesterday, demands justice for Prem's death, allegedly at the hands of Thoubal district police commandos.

The shutdown received overwhelming support from local clubs, civil society organizations (CSOs), and the Women's Wing of the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI). Roads remained empty, government offices witnessed sparse attendance, and business establishments shut their doors. Only essential services and medical emergencies were spared.
