The double-engine government has been torturing the people instead of taking up steps for the welfare of the people, Manipur CPI leader and former minister M Nara said.
The first day of the strike took place at Irabot Park in Chalou under Lamlai Assembly Constituency, Imphal East; the strike was organised by Imphal East District Council.
The protest rally began at the CPI Irawat Bhawan Complex and was to be held till Manipur Assembly located at Chingmeirong but was blocked at Imphal Municipality area by the police.
CPI-MSC L Sotinkumar former secretary highlighted that unauthorised parking, street vendors and unwarranted garbage dumping were some of the primary concerns strangling Irabot road at the moment.
The Manipur CPI alleged CM N Biren Singh of being a puppet to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has allegedly failed to utter a single word on the prevailing violence in the state.
