Imphal, Aug 31: After the tribal student bodies’ call for shut down of all business establishments, government offices and private institutions to join their rally on Saturday (August 31), the Manipur government on Friday urged the people not to respond to the tribal bodies call.

The government has strictly warned the tribal student bodies that if anybody creates any law and order problem, it would take appropriate action.

In a public appeal, Manipur Home Commissioner N. Ashok Kumar said that the Zomi Students’ Federation (ZSF) and the Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) gave public notices for holding a public rally at Kangpokpi on Saturday and urged people to shut down all business establishments, government offices, and private institutions and join their rally.

“The state government has issued necessary instructions to take up necessary preventive and precautionary measures, along with a robust response mechanism to avoid any untoward incident and maintain law and order in the state,” he said.

“Any such act of issuing public notice for organising a mass rally and urging to shut down institutions, which can pose a grave impact on the prevailing law and order situation and which is likely to pose serious repercussions in the context of the ongoing law and order crisis in the state, is viewed very seriously by the state government with the utmost sensitivity,” the Home Commissioner said.

He also urged people and the public functionaries to keep all business establishments, government offices and private institutions open and functioning normally.

Various tribal student organisations decided to hold rallies in Manipur’s tribal-dominated districts including Kangpokpi and Churachandpur and at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in support of their Union Territory demand.
