IMPHAL, AUG 31: Normal life in Imphal was thrown out of gear today owing to the Meitei Leima’s call for “public cease work” to protest against the ‘nationwide Kuki-Zo rally’ which was organised today.
In response to the appeal made by the Meitei Leima, shops and other business establishments in Imphal, including Khwairamband Keithel, Thangal Bazar and Paona Bazar remained shut.
