Stay away from tribal student groups' shutdown and rallies- Manipur government
Manipur government on Friday urged the people not to respond to the tribal student bodies' call for shutting down all business establishments, government offices, and private institutions and join their rally on Saturday in the tribal-inhabited Kangpokpi district.
The government also warned the tribal student bodies that if anybody creates any law-and-order problem, it will take appropriate action.
Manipur Home Commissioner N. Ashok Kumar, in a public appeal, 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 it.
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 requested all heads of the Central and state government institutions to issue necessary instructions for the normal functioning of their institutions on
