Imphal, September 14 2011:
Irked with the Government's failure to arrange venues for conducting Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) in all the hill districts, All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) has called a total bandh with effect from 5 am of September 15 to 5 pm of September 16 .
The students' body also urged all the tribal candidates not to appear in the examination scheduled to be held in Imphal on September 16 .
Inspite of repeated reminders and suggestions, the Govt has done nothing but stuck to its policy of conducting the exam in the State capital alone, said a press release.
It added that the time has come for the tribals to contemplate on various issues where the tribals are denied their rights and opportunities.
