Kangpokpi, January 12 2024:
Kuki Students' Organisation, Sadar Hills (KSO-SH) has opposed suspension of the zonal education officer (ZEO) Kangpokpi Lhingtinneng Singsit along with the ZEO Churachandpur Jangkhohao Haokip and ZEO, Churachandpur deputy inspector of schools, Samulamlan Block L Taithul.
Expressing remorse over the suspension of ZEO Lhingtinneng Singsit, the KSO-SH stated that the decision has raised eyebrows and sought clarification on the suspension of the ZEO Kangpokpi.
KSO Sadar Hills conveyed that it stands in solidarity with the suspended ZEO.
It opined that the suspension stems from the signatory involvement of the ZEO in the matter related to the CBSE affiliation.
"While the student body understands the importance of adherence to rules and regulations in the matter of education, we, however, believe in providing individuals with a fair chance to present their side of the story and a thorough investigation before reaching the end result," it said.
The student body also appealed for a swift and impartial investigation into the allegation against Lhingtinneng Singsit while earnestly appealing to revoke the suspension order within 48 hours.
KSO-SH also declared that the newly appointed official to replace Lhingtinneng Singsit will not be allowed to take charge of the office.
While acknowledging the need for disciplinary measures when warranted, the student body urged the Government of Manipur to thoroughly investigate the allegations against the suspended ZEO Kangpokpi and ensure a fair and unbiased inquiry.
