Condemning the police brutality while confronting the student protestors, Nandababu demanded the unconditional release of the 30 arrested students and five KSA volunteers, asserting that the government cannot suppress the people’s movement.

He declared that the student’s wing is ready to take up all necessary steps to actuate the series of agitations which the JCILPS had announced earlier.

Meanwhile, pro-ILPS movements continued in many areas of the valley with the agitators blocking roads at Kongba, Konung Mamang, Tiddim road and Mayai Lambi Road.
