Imphal, May 06 2013: Taking strong exception over the suspension of construction works in IGT University at Makhan village in the wake of reported monetary demands by several UG groups, the KSO General Headquarters has urged all UG groups to abstain from making monetary demands and life threatening deeds.

A statement issued by KSO vice-president, Mangcha Baite said the KSO has come to learn that the construction work which started a year and a half ago is presently in a state of turmoil because of vested interest groups.

Pointing out that the varsity is an outcome of tribal solidarity and exertion of tribal rights in the state, the KSO said the crisis faced by the university at the moment is a matter of concern for the organization.

Asserting that it does not want to see this hard earned centre of learning in a state of decadence, the KSO made it clear that any vested interest group that troubles the varsity should be considered anti-tribal and anti-development.

The UG groups involved must stop immediately before losing credibility in the eyes of the public.

Noting that the Amarkantak University where the IGTU is being affiliated has meted out step-motherly treatment to the varsity in all aspects of development, the statement pledged that the tribal students in the State will not take this injustice lying down and should take all necessary measures to rectify the wrongs.

It further urged the Amarkantak University to tread carefully otherwise it will face punitive and legal action in civil courts.

Appealing the State Government to take keen interest in the administration and development of this tribal varsity, it demanded water tight security to let the construction works go undisturbed.

It further warned that the KSO would hold the Government responsible for any lapse in the security of the construction workers who are under constant threat from UG groups.

The KSO also appealed the IGTU Students' Union to be steadfast in their struggle to make the varsity a well administered and functional institution while pledging support to the union in all times to come.

It also urged the construction company which is undertaking the development of the university to execute works in earnest without any fear while adding that the KSO would not condone any substandard quality in the construction works.
