Imphal, July 18 2023:
All India Students' Federation (AISF), Manipur State Council has urged school authorities and van service providers to stop collecting fees before proper conduct of formal academic activities due to the restive situation in the state.
In a release, AISF maintained that it is not fair on the part of the school authorities and the students' transporters to insist on clearance fees/ fares sans smooth conduct of classes and keeping in view that the people are facing serious problems and difficulties in sustaining source of livelihood amid the challenging times.
The AISF contended that inability of the state government to solve the crisis is creating problems for the common people and also curtailing the students their right to education.
It then appealed to the state government to lift the ban on internet service and facilitate select applications in the interest of the student community.
It also cautioned of launching intense agitation in case the government fails to do the needful at the earliest possible.
