Trained Nurses' Association (TNA), JNIMS has strongly condemned the attack at the Kakwa Asem Leikai residence of JNIMS director Prof L Deben by unknown miscreants on Monday night.
In a statement, TNA said that the director along with medical superintendent, doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff have been making additional effort to help the people since the clashes broke out on May 3 last.
As such, it is extremely unfortunately to have someone threatening director Deben, it remarked and urged all concerned not to repeat such acts in the future.
Meanwhile, Langthabal Kendra Club's Coordinating Committee (LKWC) and Langthabal Kendra Meira Paibi Coordinating Committee jointly staged a sit-in protest at Kakwa Asem Leikai Community Hall on Tuesday strongly condemning the attack at the residence of JNIMS director Prof L Deben on Monday night.
Meitei International Civic Action Network (MICAN) also issued a press release on Tuesday, condemning the attack on JNIMS director and urged for resolving any issue through peaceful talks instead of resorting to gun culture.
Unknown persons fired several rounds at the Kakwa Naorem Leikai residence of JNIMS director professor L Deben around 10:30 pm Monday.
Condemning the incident, a sit-in protest was organised by Taragi Cheishu in front of JNIMS Administrative Block on Tuesday.
Speaking to media persons at the protest venue, Taragi Cheishu member and retired District & Sessions Judge A Noutuneshwari reminded all concerned that professor L Deben has been working day and night for medical care of injured during the present conflict.
It is disheartening and fearful that medical professional of the state who have been actively involved in extending help to those impacted by the prevailing situation are being targeted for reasons unknown.
The protest was participated by Taragi Cheishu members, JNIMS Auto Drivers' Association, JNIMS teaching & non-teaching staff, JNIMS Students' Association, nurses and other staffers.
