Imphal, February 24 2015:
Hostelers of MU Hostel No 4 set two beds on fire on Tuesday to protest against university authorities' indifferences to their long standing grievances.
One of the agitating university students stated that despite repeated promises to maintain the pre-requisite facilities of a Central University as prescribed under UGC norms, the Vice-Chancellor and officials of MU have not taken up any concrete measures to turn their promises into action.

Citing an example, he revealed that there is no mess facility in Hostel No 4 and the hostelers there go to Hostel No 3 to take their meals.
Many inconveniences are constantly encountered under this arrangement, specially during rainy season and examination times.
In the past many students of Hostel No 4 were compelled to sit for exams on an empty stomach, he stated.
Until mess facility is provided in Hostel No 4, the students residing there will not join the mess service being operated under the present arrangement, he added.
The other major demand of the hostelers is provision for alternate power supply as the students use candles during frequent power outages.
Also, there is a demand for arrangement of a television set in the common room.
Moreover, the students are drawing the attention of the authorities for ensuring continuous and proper lighting in the bathroom, proper water storage and supply, proper visitors' room, separate parking space among others.
The hostellers have warned that further agitations will be taken up if the MU authorities fail to meet their demands within a week.
