Thadou Students Association, Sadar Hills president Lamminlun Singsit said that the untold misery being endured by Sadar Hills people because of the ongoing economic blockade has the potential to communalise the issue.
Such negative impacts can upset the 'unity in diversity' .
For all these reasons, the State Government ought to upgrade Sadar Hills to a full fledged district, he added.
