Imphal, April 18 (NNN): The All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) has decided to resume the suspended agitation from April 24 “as the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) authority has failed to materialise the agreed terms of the tripartite agreement” signed between ATSUM, RIMS and Manipur State Government on April 3 last.
The agreement was pertaining to cancelation of the RIMS notice dated 03-03-2023 for declaration of results for appointment to posts of LDC; fresh declaration of LDC appointment results with reservation as SC (3%), ST (34%) and OBC (13%) within one week time; and to follow existing rules and DoPT guidelines in matters of all recruitment to Group C and Group D posts.
ATSUM stated that a joint meeting of the ATSUM, its subordinate bodies and federating units was held on April 17 to discuss the matter and seek further action plan.
“Irked by the deliberate breach of tripartite agreement by the RIMS authority,” the meeting resolved to resume suspended agitation from April 24, demanding befitting action against the erring RIMS authority and to implement the agreed terms of Memorandum of Agreement signed on April 3, it stated.
While taking serious note of the additional backdoor appointment of 15 posts of LDC in the RIMS without proper reservation norms, ATSUM also demanded the nullification of the said backdoor appointments.
