IMPHAL | July 22

Students of Ananda Singh Higher Secondary Academy today protested in front of the school at Nongmeibung, Imphal demanding roll back of the transfer order of the four teachers of the school.

During the protest which started from around 1.30 pm, vehicles were stopped from passing the road in front of the school gate.

Later at around 4 pm police were able to control the situation after negotiating with the student leaders.

Speaking to media persons, Ananda Singh Higher Academy Students’ Union, general secretary, Oinam Bonny said that the students of the school strongly condemn the transfer of the four teachers from the school as they have already covered half of the syllabus.

The transfer of the teachers during the middle of the academic seems that the government likes to separate the bonds between the teachers and students, he added.

The general secretary urged the government to roll back the transfer of the four teachers with immediate effect as it will give a big blow to students’ career, who are going to appeare in the upcoming council examination.

Bonny further asked the government to fill up the teachers, as the school suffers lack of teachers.

The student association warned that certain forms of agitation will take place if the government failed to draw back the transfer order of the four teachers of the school.
