In the light of the alleged defamatory report by a State daily as well as the Government against the teaching community, college teachers under the aegis of Federation of Government College Teachers' Associations (FEGOCTA) Manipur have decided to stay away from this year's Teacher's Day celebration on Sept 5 .
This was decided today at a general body meeting of FEGOCTA held at GP Women's College.
The meeting also resolved to stop biometric attendance system totally in Govt colleges while also resolving to authorise the Executive Committee to take up any form of actions regarding biometric attendance issue and to constitute a legal committee for taking up defamation charge against editor(s) for reportedly publishing false, unfounded, malicious and unauthorised report.
According to a statement, the meeting resolved to authorise the Executive Committee to take up any democratic agitation or any form of democratic protest in the case of failure of the Govt to take up positive action regarding long pending demands of teachers submitted on July 22 .
