Noney, April 05 2020:
Pungsanmai Students' Union (PSU) has appealed authorities concerned to evacuate eight members of Pungsanmai village who are currently confined in an 'unhygienic' makeshift hut undergoing quarantine at the village.
Urging authorities concerned to immediately evacuate the individuals to Govt quarantine centre, the union in a statement said that the area where they are being kept is not accessible by motor vehicles.
In case emergency situation arises, it would be difficult to render essential services to the individuals, it said.
On April 2, they were returning home via Khoupum from Loktak Project when they were detained by local police on the 'pressure of some village organisations' .
After brief detention they were sent for home quarantine, alleged the union condemning the police and others involved for 'mishandling the situation' .
