IMPHAL, Mar 16: The All Manipur Gorkha Students’ Union (AMGSU) has imposed strict restriction on involvement of Gorkha youths, students, seniors, children, etc in conducting fund raising activities by blocking roads with and without ropes during Holi (Yaoshang) festival.
In a release, AMGSU stated that it is totally against the practice of any forms of disturbance to the commuters as there is no such custom among the Gorkha community to collect money on the National Highway, State Highway or Inter village roads taking advantage of  Yaoshang festival.
AMGSU urged all its units, village level local clubs, women societies and any other local level developmental societies to take strong precautionary measures to prevent such practices within their respective unit’s or village jurisdiction.
AMGSU also urged transporters and passengers not to donate even a single paise to the Gorkha brothers and sisters during Yaoshang along the roads while appealing to the parents and guardians concerned not to encourage their children in such illegal activities during the festival.
The student union further urged all to inform the officials of AMGSU of such collection during the Yaoshang while cautioning that the union will take strong action against the involved Gorkha youths.
