All Naga Students Association Manipur (ANSAM), whose recent two month-long economic blockade on national highways in the state had caused extreme suffering to the people has again called a 72-hour 'chaka bandh' (transport blockade) from July 12.

It, however, did not elaborate how the rights were suppressed.

The statement said the recently-concluded autonomous district council (ADC) elections would not serve the interests and welfare of the tribal people as the District Council Act, 2008 was not amended.

Official sources said there were no Naga-settled areas in the state as different communities lived in each part of Manipur.

Referring to demand for amendment of the District Council Act, the sources said it was made to serve the interests and welfare of the tribal people and was approved by the tribal MLAs of Hill Area Committee of Manipur assembly.

ANSAM had enforced a two month long economic blockade from April 12 in protest against the Autonomous District Council polls held recently which had inconvenienced people by causing prices of commodities to soar both in the valley and hill areas of the state.
