Joint Students' Coordination Committee (JSCC) of AMSU, KSA, MSF and SUK on Thursday lifted the ban imposed on the administrative blocks and Principals' rooms of RK Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya, Pangei, Heritage Convent, Uripok and North Point Higher Secondary School, Mantripukhri.
A statement signed by JSCC media coordinator Manjit Sarangthem said that RK Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya and Heritage Convent have agreed to charge only 30% school fees for the month of July and August while North Point Higher Secondary School has decided not to charge any fee from the students for the period.
Urging other school authorities to follow the requested fee arrangement, JSCC said that the committee along with the people will launch agitation against school authorities if the appeal is defied.
The school authorities of Shishu Nistha Niketan, Kwakeithel Mayai Koibi should take a decision in this regard by October 17, demanded JSCC and warned that the committee will declare the school as anti-people if the school authorities fail to bring a solution within this period.
It may be mentioned that JSCC locked the administrative blocks and Principals' rooms of Heritage Convent, Shishu Nistha Niketan, RK Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya and North Point Higher Secondary School on October 9 last after the authorities failed to comply with the demand for fee exemption.
JSCC, All Manipur Recognised Private Schools' Welfare Association and All Manipur School Van Transports' Association came to an agreement to charge only 30% school fees from the students for the months of July and August and 50% school van fees for the two months.
