With an objective to ascertain the facts behind the unnatural death of a minor student namely master Wangkhem Imocha Meitei (16 years) S/o W. Khogen Meitei, a student of Sainik School Imphal, reading in class IX; a team of Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR) went for a spot inquiry yesterday.
The team met the Principal and staffs of Sainik School Imphal and took the stock of the progress of inquiries and other actions taken up by the school authority so far. Later, the team went to Nongren village, Imphal East and met the parents and guardians of the deceased student and heard their statements.
The five officials’ team of the MCPCR was led by its Chairperson, Shri. S. Saratkumar Sharma, while three other members were Shri. S. Shyamcharan Singh, Shri. Keisam Pradipkumar and Shri. Ch. Nabachandra Singh.
In the light of such an unfortunate incident the MCPCR reiterates to all the authorities of both government and private run educational institutions, and persons who look after the students’ hostels and boarding to take all precautionary measures strictly to avoid such untoward incidents.
Further it is appealed to provide all the school going students with age appropriate basic life skills including swimming, sports climbing, horse riding, self defense, adventure sports and first aid techniques as a part of co-curricular activities.
