Imphal, August 03 2013 :
Noz-Boz restaurant located at Hiyangthang oil pump was vandalised and set ablaze by volunteers of DESAM for reportedly admitting students in their uniforms.
Speaking to media persons at their office this evening, DESAM secretary general Arambam Thoithoi said that on receiving reports about students frequenting the restaurant, some volunteers of DESAM raided the restaurant this afternoon.
Altogether three pairs of students were found inside the restaurant.
Even as they tried to run away through the back door, DESAM volunteers chased and nabbed them.
Saying that DESAM has been repeatedly appealing not to allow students in uniforms inside restaurants, Thoithoi cautioned that restaurant owners ignoring the appeal would face similar consequences.
He once again appealed to all restaurants, fast food centres and hotels not to admit students.
On the other hand, firemen doused off the fire using three fire tenders before the restaurant was completely reduced to cinders.
