IMPHAL, Jul 29: The Tribal Youth Council Manipur has said that the bandh imposed on the Dingku Road by the JAC formed in connection to the death of Sapam Robinhood has caused much inconveniences to the public.
A statement of the council said it is deeply saddened by the death of Robinhood, but the indefinite blockade at Dingku Road has caused a lot of inconveniences to the public, mainly the people from Ukhrul district and people residing along the roads.
It has further appealed to the State government and JAC and also the well-known valley based civil organisations to look into the matter.
It further charged that the hill people were not consulted for the ILPS movement.
As such, hill people should not be forced to join the agitation for ILP, it asserted.
It should not construe hill people as pro-ILP or anti-ILP movement, but the fact is that, valley people have never consulted the hill organizations on this issue.
As per our customs, an individual or groups cannot join such movements without the prior consent of the apex bodies, it claimed.
