The All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur called an indefinite economic blockade in the state from Friday morning. They have been demanding that the Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous Council Bill 2021 be tabled in the state assembly without further delay.
Manipur government however introduced the Manipur (Hill Areas) Sixth and Seventh Amendment Bills early this week, which the student body said unacceptable.
Valley-based organizations were upset at the blockade and some have come into confrontation with ATSUM, accusing that they (Valley people) are being targeted with the blockade.
