Imphal, February 11 2014:
Kuki Students' Organisation General Headquarters (General headquarters) has announced its support to ATSUM's proposed indefinite economic blockade which is slated to start from Feb 16 .
The decision was taken considering the alleged lackadaisical attitude of the State Government towards the development and welfare of tribal, according to a statement issued by Mangcha Baite, Vice President, KSO GHQs.
Asserting that the demands of the tribal student bodies under the banner of ATSUM are not irrational and illegal, the KSO said it will consider the Government as anti-tribal, for which the KSO will have to stand for tribal justice in any form of agitation it deems appropriate if the State Government continues to ignore the plights of tribals and the ATSUM's demands in particular.
The statement further notified all its branches in the hill districts of Manipur to stay alert until the strategies are issued to implement the indefinite blockade effectively.
