KPF calls Chandel bandh in Manipur

Imphal, Oct 1: The Kuki People's Forum (KPF) has called a 48 hour general strike in Chandel district from 0600 hours from tomorrow.

KPF chairman Yangkhopao Haokip called the bandh to protest misuse of the District Common Fund in Chandel and demanded a review saying the funds were not distributed properly.

The block wise allocation of fund for the period of 2007-2012 had disparities as some blocks were favoured and some were neglected, he added.

The chairman urged the government to ensure proper distribution of funds.
