Imphal, November 04 2016:
The All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) has urged the United Naga Council (UNC) to call off the ongoing economic blockade in the larger interest of the tribal fraternity and put collective efforts towards lasting peace in the land.
In an appeal, the student body said that it respects the demand of UNC, but urged it to call off the blockade and the ban on National projects against the creation of a new district.
'The ATSUM is founded to look into the welfare of the tribal students in the State and beyond to raise a collective tribal voice against discrimination, marginalisation and manipulation and to walk towards strengthening unity and peaceful co-existence as good tribal brethren,' said the student body in a statement.
