Normal life was disrupted in Manipur on Friday after a 12-hour bandh called by banned outfits in Manipur. All passenger buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws remained off the roads and shops remained closed in Imphal due to the general strike call by the Coordination Committee (Corcom), Alliance for Socialist Unity Kanglipak (ASUK) and National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT). This strike was called in Manipur in 1949 against the forced merger of the state and Tripura into the Indian Union.
Attendance was also low in government and private sector offices. However, no untoward incident was reported during the complete shutdown, a senior police officer said. Various banned insurgent organizations observe 15 October as 'National Black Day' in Manipur. In another incident, a resident of Churachandpur in Manipur, who worked at a spa in Gurgaon, was declared brought dead on arrival at Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj, South Delhi. The cause of his death is still unknown, and the body has been sent for post-mortem. The woman, who lives in Gurgaon's Sushant Lok, was brought to the hospital by two Nigerians who claimed to know her.
“The woman hails from Churachandpur and works in a spa. It seems that both the men knew the woman, but we do not know under what circumstances and why they picked her up,” said Robin Hibu, Special Commissioner of Delhi Police. All preliminary evidence has been handed over to the Gurgaon Police, and the dead woman's body is presently in the Safdarjung Enclave mortuary. The police requests the people of Churachandpur to visit the morgue to identify the woman.
