Scores of women held protests here on Sunday to demand the unconditional release of five Kangleipak Students Association activists arrested on charge of seizing packets of adulterated salt and questioning two traders in this regard.

A KSA activist said police had failed to book a trader who was accused of adulteration a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, angry women protestors tried to storm Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh's office here on Sunday to demand the enactment of the three anti-migrant bills pending presidential assent.
