Imphal, November 27 2010:
Protesting against the step taken by SPF Govt to provide shelter to the proscribed surrenderees of KCP (Lallumba) at Leikun village in Chandel district, the Tangkhul Katamnao Long has pledged to stand by the decision taken by tribals of the district to protect their inherent rights.
The student body in a release said it shall react against any action that threatens the existence of hill people at any point of time.
Urging the State Govt to meet the demands of COTA at the earliest, the release said TKS shall be compelled to join hands with the teachers' association in the event of the Govt's failure to concede COTA's demand to implement 6th Central Revised Pay in toto in respect of the teaching fraternity.
"Such discrimination and exploitation meted out to teachers is seriously viewed by the union and the State Govt should redress the grievances without further delay," the release urged.
