Imphal, December 17 2022:
All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) appealed to both the Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) and the Mao Council to resume dialogue and bring an amicable solution.
Underlining the importance of reconciliation in the spirit of brotherhood for a strong tribal community, ATSUM called for restraint on both sides and encouraged the resumption of talks for resolving the dispute peacefully.
In an appeal note, ATSUM urged both the communities to resolve their differences in perspectives and dispute through talks for a healthy and peaceful coexistence in the region.
It also said that students are travelling home to celebrate Christmas and accordingly SAPO should reconsider its position of prohibiting Mao community from entering southern Angami jurisdiction in the interest of the student community.
