Imphal, July 11 2014 :
Demanding appointment of regular Principals and regular Director of Higher Education as well as remedial measures for the inadequacies dogging Government colleges, Co-ordination Committee of Colleges Students' Union Manipur (COCOCSUM) has launched various forms of agitation from today.
The students set off their stir with burning down of effigies of Chief Minister O Ibobi, Education Minister M Okendro and Higher Education Commissioner P Vaiphei at Keishamthong Nambul Mapal this afternoon.
The agitating students shouted slogans like 'Appoint regular Principal and regular Director', 'Look into inadequacies of colleges' and 'Stop corruption' .
Prior to launching of the stir, COCOCSUM convenor Laishram Pradipkumar told reporters that they were compelled to start different forms of stirs including burning down of Government offices as the Government has failed to heed to the democratic agitations of the committee.
