Ukhrul, Feb 4: The Chandel Naga People’s Organisation (CNPO) has called for a mass public rally and total shutdown in Chandel and Tengnoupal districts on February 12th, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This is in protest against what was described as the “coercive and dissensus” construction of border fencing and the scrapping of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) along the Indo-Myanmar border by the Government of India.
