Imphal, September 06 2014 :
Teachers and students of Wangoi Higher Secondary School, Meira Paibees and local club members of Wangoi today staged a sit-in-protest at Wangoi Bazar community hall decrying the police action on the students of the Wangoi Higher Secondary School yesterday in which two students were injured.
Speaking to media persons, one of the students strongly condemned the act of Wangoi police on the students as they were simply demanding adequate number of teachers peacefully.
Firing tear gas shells, mock bombs and baton charging against the students were very unfortunate, he said.
He also appealed to the Home Department to take action and put the personnel involved in the brutal act under suspension.
During the protest, the students were seen holding placards that read 'Punish the police personnel who beat up the students', and 'Condemn firing of tear gas shells and mock bombs inside the school campus' .
Injured students are undergoing treatment at Advance Hospital.
