Setting a fresh deadline of September 14 for appointment of principal of moreh Higher Secondary School, Moreh unit of Kuki Students' Organisation and All Manipur Students' Union have threatened to impose 72 hours bandh along Imphal-Moreh section of National Highway-39 from 6 pm of the stipulated date.
In a joint statement issued by Moreh units of the student bodies, the State Government has been accused of failing to translate into action assurance made by the Education Minister on August 23. Further course of action, if any, would depend on whether or not the matter evokes positive response from the Government, the joint statement asserted.
It also recounted that the Education Minister gave the assurance with regard to appointment of the principal when representatives of the two student bodies in the presence of president AMSU head-office discussed the issue at the Minister's official residence on August 23. The Minister is said to have assured the appointment within August 31.
