Imphal, December 11 2024:
Rongmei Naga Luhphwam, Imphal-Luangrian RNLP-IL) fully endorsed and extended its steadfast support to the Charter of Demands raised by Tribal Youth Council Manipur (TYCM), General Headquarters.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, RNLP-IL called upon all its members to actively participate in the sit-in protest to be organised by TYCM-GHQ near Tangkhul Baptist Church, Imphal (TBCI) on December 13, from 11.30 am .
"The Government of Manipur continues to disregard the welfare and rights of tribal communities across various sectors, and the delay in addressing these issues constitutes a blatant violation of constitutional provisions," stated the body, adding that it was profoundly troubling to find essential tribal institutions, such as Tribal Affairs & Hills Department, Manipur State Commission for Scheduled Tribes (MSCST), and Tribal Research Institute (TRI), in a state of disrepair.
The Rongmei Naga Women Organisation, Imphal continued that these departments/ institutions are incapable of adequately addressing the needs of the tribal people as most of the staff are retired and only a handful of personnel, struggling to uphold operations.
The organisation, thus, declared its firm support to TYCM-GHQ and urged authorities concerned to address these critical issues without further delay.
