Imphal, May 23 2009:
The Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) appealed the authorities of educational institutions not to take advantage of the bandh and strike called by the various JACs and organisations against the killings that happen in the state by declaring holiday.
Taking note of the frequent declarations of holiday by school/college authorities though exempted from the purview of such bandhs and strikes, deputy secretary, publicity and propaganda of DESAM, T Kiranjoy urged in a statement that such trend in educational institutions will be detrimental to the students' academic life.
Observing that the situation in the state reaches as this stage due to some hypocrites who work diametrically for the welfare of the society, the DESAM statement pointed out that the problems of the society can be solved though education alone.
It further appeals all the concerned authorities not to declare holiday at educational institutions during bandhs and strikes while also assuring assistances to reasonable movements if education is exempted from all movements.
