Following a bomb scare, conduct of normal classes in Lamjing Meira Shindamshang, a school located at an open field lying in between Pourabi and Huidrom under Lamlai Police Station of Imphal East district was forced cut short today.
According to Principal of the school Y Romesh, at around 8.22 am today, some parents first called up the chowkidar to confirm whether the report of a bomb found planting in the school was correct or not.
After this, the teachers also started receiving phone calls to inquire about it one after the other.
After the teachers have convinced the parents that there was no such incident, the school started functioning normally.
However, after the first period was over, some parents came and requested for closure of the school to avoid any untoward incident if at all the report of the bomb turned out to true.
That created a panic among the teachers and students alike.
Accordingly, all the remaining classes were cancelled and the school was shut down for the day.
Romesh appealed to all concerned not to spread such false rumours in the future in the interest of the students.
