In the wake of the alleged RIMS authority's failure to rectify the reservation discrepancies and failure to nullify the LDC result, the All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) has decided to go ahead with the agitation as announced earlier.
According to the ATSUM, the RIMS authority had deliberately feigned ignorance of the DoPT's OM for a reservation quantum of 34 per cent for ST since 2005 and the tribal people have been deprived of their rightful share in every job recruitment at RIMS ever since.
Therefore, a 12-hour statewide total shutdown from 6 am to 6 pm on April 4, 2023, will be enforced in all the hill districts of Manipur, it stated.
However, emergency services shall be exempted from the purview of the bandh, stated ATSUM, and appealed to the public for cooperation and understanding during the course of this agitation.
Mentioned may be that, the KSO and ANSAM had already conveyed their endorsement and support to the ATSUM in connection with the issue.
