Imphal, October 18 2015:
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has threatened to lock the main gate of Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur (COHSEM) office if the council secretary is not appointed by October 30 .
At a press meet on Sunday, DESAM Vice President Arambam Thoithoi said COHSEM has been left for months without its secretary and a full-time chairman as well.
He said students are facing problems due to the absence of the officers in the council.
Thoithoi claimed that some Cabinet ministers are hampering the appointment process of council's secretary and full-time chairman as they want their handpicked officers to hold the posts.
DESAM has been campaigning to make education a free zone, he said and declared that the alliance will not accept such elusive policy of the State Government.
Students are facing difficulties without the officers, the DESAM vice president said and demanded the Government to appoint the secretary and full-time chairman of COHSEM by October 30 and warned that the student body will be compelled to shut the main gate of the council if the demand is not met within the dateline.
