Imphal, February 13, 2013:
In the wake of economic blockade called by ATSUM led by Emboi Serto, ATSUM (ES), the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) has warned against imposing any form of blockade in Ukhrul district and resolved to depute volunteers along the Imphal-Ukhrul road to thwart any attempt to disrupt economic movement.
"TKS is steadfastly against the economic blockade to be imposed from February 16 by self-styled Emboi Serto group (ATSUM)� will never permit such call to take place in Ukhrul district," said President Yangmi Khapai.
TKS stated that it does not acknowledge and accept any activities of ATSUM (ES), and issued a strong warning against the latter from imposing any form of agitation in the district.
The Tangkhul student body assured the public that it would depute volunteers along the Imphal-Ukhrul road to ensure safe movement, and also appealed to the transporters to carry on with their service as usual.
TKS will take head on with anyone supporting the blockade, Yangmi Kapai added.
