The total shutdown will come into effect from 6 pm of August 3 till 6 pm of August 4 in the hill districts of Manipur, “followed by intense form of agitations from August 5 onwards as a strong resentment against the state government’s lackadaisical attitude towards the wish and desire of the tribal people for tabling of the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) recommended “The Manipur ADC Bill 2021” in the ongoing 2nd session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly,” TKS stated.
TKS also pointed out the “deceitful act of the incumbent HAC members in deviating from its previous positions,” and further added it “seeks cooperation from the public for the greater benefit of the tribal community.”
