The agitators handed over a memorandum to the minister demanding that he takes necessary initiatives and backs the demand for granting ST status to Meiteis.
Meanwhile, the STDCM leadership informed that they have received a positive response from minister Thongam Biswajit Singh. So far, the STDCM submitted memorandum to 5 ministers out of 8 cabinet ministers belonging to the Meitei community.
