Imphal, May 16 2016:
Many students including school Principal and a
neighbour sustained injury during a nasty fight
among the students of Manipur Boarding
School, a Seventh-day Adventists school at P
Gelmol today, reports our correspondent.
Among the injured students, Mairembam
Robert Singh who sustained injury in his
eyes was rushed to RIMS to medical treat-
ment.
Speaking to media persons, M Robert
recounted that he had come across two
groups of students fighting outside the school
campus few days back.
Therefore, he re-
ported the incident to the school Principal
afterwhich the students were punished.
Today, during a recess, one group of
students barged into the classroom and
started thrashing him.
Teachers and Principal
tried to intervene but the Principal was also
beaten up, M Robert said.
Soon after the incident, parents of nearby
villages came and demanded the school au-
thority to arrange an alternative way and
admit their children in some other schools.
A team of Bishnupur police had to inter-
vene and pacify the situation by firing several
rounds of tear gas shells.
Haopu Haokip, neighbour of the school,
also sustained head injury while trying to
stop the fight.
