CCpur, May 17 2023:
The Zomi Students' Fed-eration (ZSF) has submitted a memorandum to Universi-ty Grants Commission (UGC) chairman to take action against Manipur University (MU) for its alleged anti-tribal stance.
In the memorandum, ZSF deplored the May 10 order is-sued by MU registrar professor W Chand Babu Singh informing all employees of the university to attend office from 9am un-til the curfew relaxation hour ends.
It is common human under-standing that in times of con-flict, hospitals and institutions of learning and women and children among others should be spared and not targeted.
However, the MU author-ities totally failed toprotect its campus and staff, faculties and students from mob who wreak havoc with impunity, the memorandum said adding that even the quarter of David Zote (deputy registrar) was attacked by the mob.
It also said that the mob did not spare other staff and other faculty members.
