IMPHAL, June 1 NNN : Teachers and students of Little Master English Higher Secondary School of Shamurou under Wangoi constituency in Imphal West district took out to the street in protest against reported huge monetary demand of Rs 50 lakh served to the school by the proscribed Kangleipak Communist Party (MC) group of Lamyanba Khuman.
Today, all the teachers and students numbering about 500 of the school gathered in the campus and later massed through the Shamurou under the banner “Stop Harassing the Educational Institutions” urging the militant outfit to withdraw the huge money demand.
Reports said the demand note was given to the Principal of the school, Haobam Premkumar yesterday the shortly before the students were to disperse.
The demand note had informed the Principal that the school authority must contact to the outfit within five days for a talk regarding the demand warning that the school authority should be responsible for any untoward incident if failed to response, the reports said.
Sources said the outfit had earlier threatened M Thoiba, secretary, Governing Body of the school through mobile phone pertaining to monetary demand.
Thoiba, who was also participating in the rally, told reporters that the school was not meant for commercial purposes only but it was set up with an aim to uplift the poor students and that it takes less tuition fees while comparing to other private schools in the state.
The protesters also held placards reading “Stop Monetary Demand,” “Make Education Free Zone” and “Save Student’s Life.”

Mail News Service
Imphal, June 1 : The entire team which went to Myanmar to conduct cleft and palate operations, has returned after conducting 103 operations on 87 patients.
Dr Palin, leader of the team addressing the media here today said, ‘Mission Myanmar’ was a triangular effort of Myanmar, India government and Shija hospital to link Myanmar with Smile Train Inc. (USA) and Shija Hospitals, Imphal, India to render free corrective surgeries to Cleft lip and Cleft palate patients in Myanmar.
The members who had gone to Myanmar had reached Moreh, the border town, yesterday.
Dr Palin said a 12 member team with three surgeons reached Government Hospital at Monywa, Sagaing Division, Myanmar on May 24 last and started operating the same day. About 103 surgeries were performed on 87 patients till May 27. All equipment and medicines were taken from Manipur, he added. Due to time constraints the team had to come back.
Narrating about the mission the doctors said a surgeon conducts four to five operations a single day but in Myanmar they had to perform non stop day and night. They all did it free of cost as they found that there are over one lakh patients in Myanmar and two surgeons in the entire country and no basic expertise to do the operation.
It is said that every 1 in 600 suffer from cleft lip and palate worldwide. According to the Myanmar population it is estimated that there are more than 1,00,000 patients silently suffering from this deformity. These cleft patients cannot speak and eat properly. They don’t go to schools because of the facial deformity and remain isolated in shame but they also have dreams.
A segment of the road from Kalewa to Monywa was quite bad.
Chief Ministers of Sagaing Region, U Thar Aye, and Manipur, O. Ibobi Singh visited the hospital two times on separate occasions and once together, while the team was carrying out the operations and encouraged the good work of the mission which will bring the two nations closer. Chief Minister of Manipur, O.Ibobi Singh also offered to sponsor the next Mission Myanmar as it will be an on-going programme.

Former president of All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) Mr Paulhring Langhu stressed the urgent need of all the tribal communities in Manipur for unity at this critical juncture.
MLA of Chandel Victor Nunglung harped on the importance of today’s programme and suggested that more such events are organised in future with the participations of all the tribal MLAs in Manipur.
Dr Tangkhenthang said, “Loss of language is loss of knowledge and culture.”
Meanwhile, members of ANSAM, MUTSU, ZSUM, AZSU, LNKR, ZSUKA, ADC members, All India Tribal Students Union, TKS, CDSU, ACTSOM, TKLI, ATDUM, Zomi Literature Society, TSA-GHQ, SSP, Raphei Katamnao Long, ALT (Imphal unit) and student leaders from Indira Gandhi National Tribal University participated in today’s programme.
