All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) on Wednesday expressed concern over the abduction of three labourers of ABCI Infrastructures Private Limited by suspected unidentified militants on January 23 from Sarom Patong Village.
Terming the incident "unfortunate", ATSUM President Emboi Serto said that the developmental work of the road construction work from Thoubal to Kasom Khullen in Ukhrul District funded the Asian Development Bank (ADB) halted as the three workers have been abducted.
The association said if the construction works stopped, it will be definitely be a huge loss to the people of Manipur and particularly to people of the area, said ATSUM.
The union urged all groups or organizations involved the kidnapping to release the labourers without any harm on humanitarian ground as well as for the cause of maintaining sustainable development in the state.
