Imphal, April 24 2012: A series of protests would be staged at different schools in Manipur in connection with disappearance of Rahul Takhellambam, a class VII student of Don Bosco School, Chingmeirong in Imphal and if prompt actions were not taken up by the government of Manipur to find out the whereabouts of the missing boy, bandhs and strikes would follow.

This was stated by joint action committee (JAC) formed in connection with the disappearance of the student at the sit-in protest cum public meeting organized at Sangakpham bazar, near the school where the missing boy was studying.

It was resolved at the public meeting to submit memorandum to the Chief Minister and Home Minister of Manipur to trace the whereabouts of the missing boy within a reasonable period of time, take up legal action against the school authority of Don Bosco, Imphal and punishment to those who are responsible for the disappearance of Rahul.

The JAC has asked the school authority of Don Bosco, Chingmeirong not to open the school until the missing student has been traced, and alleged that the student, who was staying in the hostel of the school, was missing due to the lack of responsibility of the warden of the hostel who reportedly came to know about the disappearance of Rahul only after roommates of Rahul informed him that Rahul had not returned to the hostel after school hours.

The JAC informed that sit-in protests would be organized at different schools of the state from tomorrow to protest the disappearance of the student and if no tangible action is taken up by the government of Manipur, then bandhs and general strikes would follow.

Rahul Takhellambam, s/o T.Sunil Singh of Ngaikhong Khullen, Bishnupur, a student of class VII in Don Bosco school, Chingmeirong and staying in hostel of the school, went missing since school hours was over on April 21 .
