TURA, March 28 � In view of Good Friday and Easter festivities, the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) has called off the indefinite bandh in Ampati from April 2 to April 6. The outfit, however, stated that the bandh would be reimposed till the demands of the outfit were heard by the government.
The GNLA said in a press release, �The purpose of bandh was to pressurise the government to suspend the police official CI Bitching Marak and to arrest former gnla cadre, Mingran Sangma, who carried out a fake encounter at Oragitok on March 4 in which one Sengbath Marak was killed in cold blood�.
�The Home Minister is ignoring our demand and not taking any action, justifying the Oragitok killings. Therefore, the indefinite bandh shall continue in Ampati until our demands are met�, the release added.
