The 48-hour general strike called by the All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur, the Kuki Students’ Organisation and the All Naga Students’ Association Manipur protesting the shutdown of Manipur University will come to an end on the midnight of 11th August.
While these groups are demanding an immediate end to the crisis, groups in the valley are unrelenting on the issue and stand by their demand for removal of Manipur university Adya Prasad Pandey before calling off the agitation.
