Imphal, February 23 2021:
Tousem Headquarter Students Union has asserted that Pallong village deserves an Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) as much as Kuilong circles do.
In a statement the student body said that Pallong village has been overlooked in the past on account of being at the vicinity of Tamei headquarters and stated that the Pallong village suit the given criteria for a residential school where good transport and medical facilities is a must though admission must be prioritized for a ward from interior or neglected area.
All developments in Tamei Sub-Division should not be 'dominant community centric' and other communities should not be alienated, continued the statement.
The union expressed concern that the ongoing tussle to allot EMRS Tamenglong North in Kuilong area of Tamei sub division rather than in Pallong village as planned will only delay and hamper the timely completion of the project.
It appealed to all the concerned to be considerate and try to resolve the issue in the interest of all.
