Imphal, February 12 2014:
Taking into consideration the merit and demerit of launching economic blockade, Zeliangrong Students' Union Manipur (ZSUM) has reaffirmed not to support the proposed economic blockade to be imposed by a 'splinter group' of ATSUM under the leadership of Emboi Serto and asserted that the group does not have the mandate of the federating units with the exception of SDSA and some vested individuals.
According to a statement issued by Victor Hugou, Information & Publicity Secy of ZSUM, the constituent federating units of ATSUM are the hill based district student's organizations namely ZSUM, CDSU, NSUC, TKS and SDSA.
The SDSA in collaboration with unrepresented individuals has been resurfacing their 'ugly heads' in the name of ATSUM to draw attention from the public as if they are rendering a selfless service for the cause of the tribal.
''The ZSUM volunteers will be deployed to all the strategic areas to ensure free passage along the National Highway 37,'' the statement affirmed.
