Unfortunately, no action has been taken up on the matter till date, he lamented.

Hemanta iterated that the demands of the people are in accordance with the Manipur Education Code 1982 should be fulfilled at the earliest.

However, the caretaker principal is delaying the matter, which has affected the career of the students and further hurt the sentiments of the people.

"It is regrettable to see some people trying to take advantage of this situation", he said and urged for fulfilling the aforementioned demands at the earliest.
