The Zomi Students' Federation today formally reiterated its opposition to the deployment of IRB/police commandos in tribal areas of the State, particularly in Churachandpur and vowed to fight back if the Govt insists in doing so, reports our correespondent.
"If the SPF Government insists on deploying IRB/Commandos against the wish and desire of the people in the near future, the federation will be compelled to fight against it," said ZSF in a statement.
It also reminded the Govt of the press statement they issued on July 17 and Aug 24 last year besides the total bandh they imposed on July 20 in this connection.
Even as the student body reiterated their stand against the deployment of security forces in the hills, the federation took note of the contribution of the Minister concerned, DC, and SP for halting the suggested deployment of 1st IRB personnel at Sinzawl.
It urged the general public to be cordial with the transporters who are plying along the Guite Road, and be prepared to help them.
