Imphal, July 31 2017:
All College Tribal Students Union, Imphal (ACTSUI) has suspended its proposed agitation against non-payment of scholarship for ST students after Tribal Affairs and Hills (TA&H) officials assured the union that the scholarship would be disbursed after the end of the ongoing 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly session.
Representatives of the union and TA&H officials had a meeting today wherein the latter gave the assurance.
The union would launch different forms of agitation in both the hills and the valley if the State Government does not sanction the scholarship amount before August 8, cautioned ACTSUI in a press release.
It reiterated that an ultimatum was submitted to the concerned authority on July 28 asking the latter to disburse the scholarship within today.
