Imphal, May 10 (UNI) The All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur(ATSUM) today announced an indefinite economic blockade on two National Highways 39 and 53 in Manipur from May 13 midnight.

ATSUM assistant general secretary Apao Haokip said the decision was taken as the state government ''failed to reintroduce Manipur Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services (for SC and ST) Bill in the Assembly'', which is presently in session.

The ATSUM claimed the government was not sympathetic to the cause of the tribal students. The organisation has asked business establishments not to take advantage of the blockade and hike prices of essential commodities.
