24-hr Manipur bandh in pictures: Hill districts wear deserted look

Imphal: A 24-hour total shutdown called by the All Tribal Students’ Union of Manipur (ATSUM) was imposed across the hill districts in the state from midnight on Friday.

The bandh was called in view of the demand for elections to Autonomous District Council (ADCs) as the state government failed to issue notification for polls to the six existing ADCs. The ADCs include Churachandpur, Ukhrul, Tamenglong, Sadar Hills, Senapati and Chandel.

Along with agitation, the body also announced ban on all the ongoing national and state development projects in the hill districts.
