Newmai News Network
IMPHAL, Sep 20: Kuki Students’ Organisation of Jiribam and Tamenglong  has endorsed the decision of All Tribal Students’ Union, Manipur (ATSUM) to boycott the State Government’s Go to Hills mission in protest against the Government’s refusal to table the proposed Manipur (Hill Areas) ADC Bill 2021 in the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
A release issued by KSO stated that the “Go to Hills” mission of the State Government is meaningless and hollow if the Government remains indifferent to the hill people's aspiration for real development and better administration as envisaged in the proposed bill.
"Therefore, the State Government should table the proposed bill at the earliest in a special session of the Manipur Legislative Assembly if it really cares for the growth and development of the hill areas," it added.
The Kuki student body further stated that it is committed to render all support and assistance at its disposal to ATSUM in any eventuality.
