Protestors demand CM Biren to resign

Imphal: Demanding for justice to the murder of Athuan Abonmai people staged a sit-in in front of his residence at Grace colony, Tarung, here on Saturday.

The government has so far failed to find out the real picture of Abonmai murder. The government must give a written assurance to fulfill the demands of the people by booking the culprits involved in killing him, the protestors said.
