Imphal, February 03 2013 : In protest against alleged failure of the State Government to fulfil its demands, All Tribal Students Union (ATSUM) has banned all the works related to construction of Imphal-Jiribam railway line with effect from midnight today.
Informing this to Hueiyen Lanpao, Majabung Gangmei, spokesperson of the Union, said that ATSUM has submitted memorandum to the Chief Minister on two occasions, the first one on January 10 and the other on January 17, to press the demand for appointment of Manipur State Commission for Scheduled Tribes, setting up of B.Ed centres in the hill districts and posting of adequate teaching and non-teaching staff in the education institutions of the hill districts with better infrastructure.
However, the State Government has not fulfilled any of these demands even after calling a Statewide general Strike on January 19.So ATSUM has decided to ban all National projects in the State including the ongoing works related to construction of railway line from Imphal to Jiribam, Majabung said.
