A tribal body in Manipur has withdrawn its appeal to government employees to refrain from attending work over the suspension of a head constable who was allegedly seen with armed men in a video grab.
In a statement issued late on Monday night [February 19], Churachandpur-based Indigneous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) said, "In the interest of the general public, the closure of State government offices will be lifted immediately."
On Monday, State government offices in Churachandpur and neighbouring Pherzawl districts recorded thin attendance after ITLF urged staffers to refrain from attending work. The ITLF stated that its demand for "replacement" of district SP and DC and revocation of suspension of a head constable have not been met.
