Manipur went without newspapers on Wednesday, as journalists extended support to the All Manipur Newspaper Sellers and Distributors Association (AMNSDA), which launched a strike protesting against the beating and looting of a distributor on July 27 night by armed persons, suspected to be policemen.

President of the All Manipur Working Journalists Union, A. Mobi, told The Hindu that police had informed the journalists that the culprits would be arrested in “a day or two.”
