Imphal, November 13 2013:
Students of DM college of Arts today staged sit-in-demonstration at the gate of the College to protest transfer of two teaching faculties.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the protest demonstration, DMC Arts Students' Union secretary E Priyokumar said today's agitation is to highlight students' objection against the transfer of Political Science Head of Department Laishram Nabachandra and Hindi lecturer Phulana.
Informing that Prof Nabachandra was transferred on September 3 followed by Phulana's transfer within a month's time, Priyokumar said inspite of the double transfer there are no replacement teachers till date.
Pointing out that compared to the previous session the number of students has increased significantly this academic session, the secretary opined that transfer of teachers when there is increase in students' strength is illogical.
Serving an ultimatum that either the transferred teachers be re-posted or their substitutes sent immediately, Priyokumar also cautioned that failure to initiate appropriate positive action would constraint the students to launch intense agitation.
