Kangpokpi, August 18 2014:
Denouncing the alleged failure of the State Govt and Manipur University authority to pay attention towards the demand for implementation of Central Educational Institution (Reservation in Admission) Amendment Act 2012 from the current academic session, ATSUM today announced its decision imposing a 24-hr total bandh in all hill districts of the state with effect from midnight of August 21.While appealing to all transporters, businessmen, educationists, Govt.employees and others to adhere with the decision taken by the students' body decision and refrain from their works, ATSUM said that only Medical and Media will be relaxed from the purview of the total bandh.
If the State Govt and MU authority still remain silent over the issue even after the total bandh, ATSUM will further resort to various intense agitation until the demand is met, its president Emboi Serto said.
