Denouncing alleged duty negligence by a newly transferred teacher namely assistant professor Bidyarani Ningthoujam in CI College, Bishnupur, aggrieved members of the college's students' union on Saturday blocked the Tiddim Road stretch at Bishnupur Bazar.
The union had earlier launched several agitations including class boycott and locking up of the administrative block and principal's office denouncing the transfer of one out of two geography teachers, after which the government deputed Bidyarani Ningthoujam to the college on December 20, 2022 .
On receiving the information of the road block, a team of Bishnupur district police led by additional SP (Ops) Roni Mayengbam and additional SP (Law and Order) Satyam Takhellambam including women personnel came to the spot to disperse the protestors.
However, the students, backed by members of Apunba Nupi Lup, Bishnupur district led by its president L Pramo and Apunba Manipur Kanba Ima Lup president L Nganbi Devi and women folks of Bishnupur Keithel, gave the police some tough time.
The highway, after witnessing heavy traffic jam for about 40 minutes, was finally freed by the police as the protestors were herded towards the western end of Bishnupur Keithel.
