Imphal. May 27 NNN:The 36-hour bandh called by the Indira Gandhi National Tribal Students’ Union, Regional Campus Manipur (IGNTUSU-RCM) in all the hill districts of Manipur including the two National Highways concluded today at 5 pm without much impact.
The bandh has been called by IGNTUSU in protest against the current recruitment drive for various posts for Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Regional Campus Manipur. The tribal students’ body termed it as against the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the IGNTU authority and the students’ body on October 24, 2011 wherein it was agreed that no recruitment would be done for Regional Campus Manipur until the reservation policy is settled.
The bandh which began on Saturday morning did not bring much impact except a stray incident in Ukhrul district where a couple of vehicles were damaged.
As usual the inter-state and inter-district transporters operated their services though there was confusion among the transporters yesterday morning.
The bandh was supported by other tribal students’ organizations like Manipur University Tribal Students’ Union (MUTSU), Thadou Students’ Association (TSA), Chandel district and (ACTSOM).
