State government efforts to cool down the anger of the Sekmai people by sending MLAs fails as the people stand firm with their demand for apology from the side of the MLA Sorokhaibam Rajen, in addition with the suspension of those escorts who had assaulted Laimayum Dhana , the general Secretary of Sekmai Protection Committee.
In a closed door meeting between the representatives of the Sekmai civil bodies and some MLAs the matter could not be solved as the Sekmai civil body stand firm with their demand for unconditional apology from the Lamsang AC MLA as well as suspension of the escort who were involved to the assault of Committee General secretary, besides an agreement to the construction of the Community Hall in the jurisdiction of Sekmai Assembly Constituency by Lamshang AC MLA.
As no amicable solution could be reached, the Sekmai Protection Committee re-affirmed their decision and imposed bandh from 6 am today. “This time it will be indefinite,” said a committee member while talking over phone.
Meanwhile, inter-state bus service and heavy trucks stay of the road due to the bandh at Sekmai. However Dimapur bound mini passenger transporters like Tata Winger taxi service continue its service by diverting route from Ikou village and then by passing through Sapermeina.
