Imphal, May 24 2014 :
All women employees of RIMS including professors and faculties shall attend office on Monday wearing black badge to protest against the ridiculing of a senior lady professor in a column of Poknapham newspaper in its edition on May 23 last.
According to a press release issued by Media Adviser, RIMS, the writing in the said newspaper was in a very bad taste and there were serious implications, and added that apart from the protest, possible legal actions are being explored since a central institute like RIMS cannot and should not be mocked in such manner.
It further recalled that there was also an attempted molestation of a lady employee at Dental college some days ago.
The release appealed to all lady employees of RIMS with exception of those in essential service to wear black badge during office hours on Monday.
