Imphal, November 03 2022:
In a social media post uploaded on Thursday, chief minister N Biren has said that the government is taking serious note of the indefinite economic blockade called by All Manipur Tribal's Development Grievances Forum (AMTDGF) against non-release of MGNREGS fund and cautioned that those responsible for calling the economic blockade would be arrested soon.
According to CM Biren, imposition of economic blockade is anti-national and there is a standing order of the Supreme Court in this regard.
He said that the organisation threatening to impose economic blockade namely AMTDGF is not heard of before and there is no differentiation between tribal and general on MGNREGS fund.
The CM's post also said that highway patrol teams of Manipur police are being deployed at many places to prevent unwanted incident.
