Imphal, July 19: The Zeliangrong Youth Front (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland) strongly condemned the physical attack carried out by Sports Authority of India (SAI) students who are presently staying at the Khuman Lampak Sports complex upon the 16 students who came from Tamenglong for participation in the ongoing 14 years category ‘Inter School Subroto Football Tournament’ 18th -22nd July 2012. The SAI students numbering more than 50 people at about 9:20 pm reportedly came with deadly weapons to Room No.112 of the new Hostel where the students from Tamenglong are staying, broke the door of the room and started indiscriminate attack without reasons.
In the said incident one Master Tobia Gonmei s/o Lungkhiam Gonmei of Thiulon village suffered injuries and till the time the ZYF team comprising of President and former Advisor conducted enquiry at 3:00 pm today, the injured person complaint of breathing difficulty and paining sensation all over his body due to kicking at his chest. One student namely, Meisibou, also complained of waist-abdomen area paining. During the attacked not a single person including the coach were not spared and they all received different degree of physical pains. It is reported that the students who are seriously injured were taken to JNIMS Hospital at around 9.50 and only to come back at 1.30 am to the hostel.
In spite of this ugly incident, the matter did not widely come out for public information and as such there is doubtful that the authority is trying to conceal the incident. It is reported by the students during inquiry to the ZYF team that the police team came to the hostel had picked up six persons attackers in connection with the incident but learnt to have been released after sometime. The most surprising thing is that the place is considered as highly sensitive zone with security personnel moving round the clock apart from the existent of IRB Camp within the Khuman Lampak Sport complex as such it is a shameful thing to have occurred such incident right under their nose. It is also better for the organizing committee to cancel the tournament if the concern authority cannot provide necessary safety and security measures for the innocent students whose life are already in dangers.
The Zeliangrong Youth Front demanded that the persons who are involved in the incident should be booked under the law of the land within 48 hours counting from 6pm of 19th July. In case of the demand is not fulfill, the ZYF will take up different forms of democratic agitations till the demand is fulfilled in order to safeguard the life of the citizens said David Kamei , Jt. Secy in a statement today.
