Saying that the Government has only been turning a deaf ear to the demand of STDCM, he urged the State Government to do the needful without awaiting strong agitation.
The STDCM has been urging the Govt to send the ethnographic and socio-economic reports of the Meetei/Meitei for inclusion in the ST list to the Centre.
Notably, the World Meetei Council (WMC) has also resolved to support the movement of STDCM which resumed on August 26 last.
