Imphal, October 15 2018:
Expressing extreme shock and anguish, the All Manipur College Teachers' Association (AMCTA) has decried the report of Manipur University teachers, who are currently lodged in jail, being taken to hospital for medical treatment with their hands cuffed.
A press release issued by joint secretary AMCTA stated that the association called an emergency meeting of AMCTA executive committee today in the presence of its president M Lokendro Singh.
Terming the action as insulting and inhuman, AMCTA condemned the treatment of teachers as hard core criminals.
Meanwhile, Manipur Peoples' Democratic Front has also condemned the inhuman nature of bringing an arrested teacher of MU in handcuffs to JN Hospital and have demanded the authority concerned to take up necessary disciplinary actions or suspend the Jail authority who ordered the act, as per the law and rule of the land.
