Imphal, March 23 2022:
As part of the ongoing movement for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list, Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur (STDCM) in association with Loitang Khunou Youth Club organised a one-day awareness programme on Wednesday.
During the programme, the speakers justified the demand for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list and remarked that it would be a good decision on part of the new government to forward a recommendation on the same to the central government.
The speakers also stated that STDCM will continue to stage protest until the demand is fulfilled.
The programme was attended by STDCM executive member Ayekpam Basanta, publicity secretary Waikhom Ananda, Sadar Patel High School headmaster H Priyobrata (state awardee) and socio worker Lamabam Kula as presidium members.
