Imphal, February 19 2016 : DESAM has alleged the the Manipur University authority of indulging in corruption by making illegal appointment of 7 candidates to post of Junior Assistant which had been already filled up.

Speaking to media persons at DESAM office, Keisam pat, DESAM president M Angamba said that the Manipur University issued an adverstisement in 2019 for recruitment of 9 posts of Junior Assistant (3 OBC & 6 UR) on regular basis.

The university complted the recruitment process in August 10, 2015 by issuing offer letter to 9 successful candidates by Prof N Lokendra Singh, then Registrar of Manipur University.

The candidates joined their duties within the stipulated period.

After the term of Prof N Lokendra Singh had expired on October 4, 2015, Prof W Vishwanath Singh took over the office as the Registrar In-Charge of the university.

Prof W Vishwanath Singh, at the behest of Vice-Chancellor Prof H Nandakumar Sharma, issued fresh offer/appointment letters to another 7 candidates for Junior Assistant post on December 26, 2015.To be precised, the university has appointed 16 Junior Assistants against 9 posts.

The appointment of 7 candidates was done without issuing any fresh advertisement.

Therefore, it shall be treated as fraud, M Angamba asserted.

He added that an advertisement duly signed by Prof W Vishwanath Singh for filling up of 84 posts of Professors was notified on January 18, 2016.Among the vacant posts was a post of a Physics Professor(UR) which has been testified as fake since UGC has not sanctioned any additional post of Professor (Physics) .

A memorandum in regard with the matter has been submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for immediate intervention, M Angamba said.
