Manipur High Court on March 27 directed the Manipur state government to recommend for inclusion of the Meitei/Meetei community in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list of India.
The biggest threat to tribal lands comes from within, Fr (DR) Walter Fernandes, Director of Northeast Social Research Centre said.
The Manipur HC has directed the state government to submit recommendations regarding inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in ST list to the Union Tribal Affairs.
"State government’s failure to send appropriate recommendations is the only obstacle hindering the ST demand from materialising".
Locals of Singjamei and vendors on Thursday took up demonstration at the street of Singjamei Bazar in Imphal West demanding to enlist the Meetei community in the ST list.
