The joint student bodies of Hmar Students Association, Thadou Kuki Students Union and Kuki Students Organization today condemned the attempt to set ablaze one of the dispensing units of Tuibuong Services station on the night of July 8 last by some hooligans, who intentionally doused the adjoining area of the Diesel dispensing unit with petrol, before setting it on fire.
The Joint student bodies said the brave residents of Tuibuong locality displayed oneness by putting out the fire with their timely intervention with strong sense of community spirit.
Otherwise, the extent of the calamity would have been unthinkable, it added.
The student bodies said, 'such an irresponsible and cowardly act could be the handiwork of very sick and depraved minds, who give no credence to civility laws, society and civilization as a whole' .
"It is demanded that the district administration should arrest the culprits within a period of three days, failing which the student bodies will be compelled to take recourse to any means they consider appropriate", they warned.
The joint student bodies also take strong exception to the fact that such ruffians, miscreants could carry out such an act on an institution like petrol pump in a high security zone of the district headquarter as this speak about the static nature of the district administration and security agencies operating in the district.
