The tribal students are peeved by the this stand of the state government and hence announced to impose indefinite economic blockade.<br \/>\nA day before the proposed imposition of the economic blockade the JCHDSO held another round of talk with the state government represented by education minister M Oken which was also participated by tribal MLAs including Z Kikhonbou (Tamei), Preshaw Shimray (Chingai) and Alexander Pou (Karong) but no solution was arrived at.<br \/>\nEducation minister M Oken reportedly requested the tribal student leaders to wait for three more days as he wants to consult the matter with the state chief minister and his colleagues. Complying the minister\u2019s request the JCHDSO has deferred the proposed agitation. \u201cHowever, failure to fulfill our demand will amount to invite indefinite economic blockade and we will no longer talk with the government then,\u201d warns D Stephen, convenor of the JCHDSO. \u201cWe cannot compromise this matter,\u201d asserted Stephen.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">Read more \/ Original news source: <a href=\"http:\/\/manipur-mail.com\/economic-blockade-deferred-by-three-days\/\">http:\/\/manipur-mail.com\/economic-blockade-deferred-by-three-days\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IMPHAL, Oct 14 NNN : The proposed indefinite economic blockade in Manipur has been deferred by three days following a fervent appeal made by Manipur education minister M Oken to the tribal student leaders on Sunday.
