Dimapur, March 31 (EMN): The Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) has temporarily suspended the ongoing ‘indefinite bandh’ within its jurisdiction from March 31 at 12 noon.
The decision to suspend the indefinite bandh was taken after deliberation with its governing body and frontal organisations on March 31.
SAPO president, Kevipodi Sophie, and the general secretary, Swelul Pucho, stated that the decision to the effect was taken basing on the Tenyimi People’s Organisation (TPO) ‘ultimatum on Manipur to withdraw police forces from Kezolta and request to SAPO to lift the blockade thereof’ published on March 31 in local dailies. It was also decided following request from the Angami Public Organisation (APO) to lift the indefinite bandh in view of its upcoming 50th year celebration on April 8.
SAPO, however, notified that the relaxation and lifting of indefinite bandh was only temporary measures. It stated that SAPO would be constraint to initiate its own course of action if the government of Manipur fails to adhere to ultimatum served by TPO to Manipur government dated March 29, 2022.
