IMPHAL: The All Tribal Student Union, Manipur (ATSUM), led by Muan Tombing has threatened to launch intense agitation from the middle of next month if the state government fails to address the plights of the contractors engaged in the constructions of RMSA (school) buildings in the hill districts.
ATSUM said it has been compelled to intervene in the matter as the contractors are set to lock all the school buildings constructed by them as the state government did not release the remaining amounts to the contractors. The contractors are now saying that since they had used their money in constructing the buildings (RMSA) these buildings belong to them as long as the state government does not pay them.
The tribal student body said it will start its agitation from May 17. ATSUM appealed to all the concerned contractors to participate in a meeting on April 19 at ATSUM office, Nagaram in Imphal, at 11:30 am.
