A large number of people from Kshetrigao A/C took out a rally demanding punishment for Manipur University VC AP Pandey in case he is found guilty and demanding the VC in-charge to begin work at the earliest.
The people also staged a sit in protest at Porompat Thouwanthaba Leikai community hall in connection with the demand.
The rally and sit in protest were organised under the aegis of Peoples of Kshetrigao.
Speaking to media persons at the sit in protest, one of the local Meira Paibi demanded proper punishment for AP Pandey if he is found guilty of the charges levelled against him.
Questioning who will pay the ultimate price for the valuable time lost by the students who are still waiting for their BA examination results, she demanded the newly appointed VC in-charge to begin work at the earliest as well as for the Government to bring an amicable solution to the university impasse.
The people participating in the sit in protest also shouted slogans demanding opening of the university at the earliest, to prevent politicising of the university issue, save the future and careers of the students, removal of engineering cell from the university and RIMS etc.
After the sit in protest, the participants took out a rally along Kongba and submitted a memorandum to Imphal East DC .
