25th August, 2008 - Indefinite bandh in some Imphal areas

While the central government is promoting north east by putting it into the central government LTC scheme, the people in the region seems to be least interested to economically boost their regions from being cut off from rest of the country. That is the reason an indefinite bandh has been called from 6 am in the areas of Sangaiporou, Malom, Ningomthong, Mongsangei and Konjeng Leikai which the expansion of the Tulihal airport would affect, decrying the state authorities move to acquire lands for the expansion purpose. The bandh will also covered the Tidim road and Mayai Lambi road.

We needed a blog like this - if only to showcase the apathy of political parties and unions alike towards the person on the street, who wants to earn his daily bread. Surprising though that very little mention of Kerala in the list of hartals (I only checked the August schedule for now, but find it dominated by the East). How can you miss 'hartal's own country', as aptly tagged by Statesman?!
