Imphal, November 17 2010:
Senapati District Women Association and Senapati District Students' Association have raised opposition to the proposed North East youth Festival at senapati district.
A joint statement issued today said even though organising such a mega event for NE youths at senapati deserves support SDSA and SDWA 'in the general interest of the people of Senapati district and protecting decisions of the Apex bodies has decided not to allow such an event to happen in the district' .
Asking the event host Youth Initiative Foundation to withdraw its decision of organising the festival at Senapati, the bodies cautioned that failure to honour collective decision and request of the apex bodies would not be tolerated and the organisers will be held responsible for any unwanted consequences.
The bodies also contended that failure on the part of YIF to respect the Apex social organisations on certain important commitment in the past has prompted them to decide against allowing the event taking place at Senapati district.
