Imphal, September 04 2015 :
Thadou Students' Association (TSA) Chandel and Kuki Students' Organization (KSO) Khanjoi Block have urged the State Government to do the needful for the operationalisation of BSNL Tower at Tolbung village immediately.
Khangjoi subdivision of Chandel has been neglected for a long time, said the two student bodies in a press release.
The subdivision has a lone operating tower at Joupi and the subdivision headquarters of Khangjoi and block headquarters of Khangbarol are not covered by any mobile network, informed the press note.
The student bodies urged the Government to provide BSNL tower to other locations also to ensure uninterrupted and full mobile network coverage in the area.
TSA and KSO also strongly condemned the banning of internet and mobile SMS services in the State saying the State Government has violated the right to freedom of expression.
The two student bodies also appealed to the Government to immediately punish the security personnel responsible for the killing of eight protesters and injuring many more in Churachandpur district.
