Imphal, April 23 2023:
Even as ATSUM has announced to enforce a 12-hour total shutdown in all hill districts of the State from 6 am of April 24, six student unions have urged the body to withdraw its stand.
In a joint statement, the six bodies including MSF, DESAM, KSA, SUK and AIMS urged All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) to call off the bandh in public interest.
The total shutdown may affect the public they said, appealing to ATSUM to choose other means of protest in pursuit of its demands.
While making sure RIMS follows the prescribed rules, higher authorities may be approached and pressured for holding responsible persons in RIMS accountable, they said.
The bodies also stated that they would begin monitoring the hospital to check "administrative defects" in public interests.
