Students of Ananda Singh Higher Secondary School, Nongmeibung, Ibotonsana Higher Secondary School, Uripok today staged a sit in protest at their respective school gates against the arrest of innocent student activists from the head office of the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) including its president by police for taking revenge on a teacher who allegedly used excessive force on a student.
During the protest Social and Cultural Secretary of Ananda Singh Higher Secondary School, Mangalleima said that the students condemn the brutal thrashing of a minor student by teacher as it is also against the RTE.
