The Saklong appeals to the government employees and the general public for utmost co-operation.

The statement further said “Despite the repeated pleas from ANSAM to both the central and state governments and having failed to respect the office ultimatum and prolonged denying of the basic rights of citizens, the Saklong would initiate the picketing of government offices within its jurisdiction for the below-mentioned reasons:
1. To immediately lift the order of internet shutdown and restore internet connectivity in the peace area of the state.
