IMPHAL, July 12: Two class 7 students of Standard Robarth Higher Secondary School, Canchipur in Imphal have gone missing.
A sit-in protest was organised in front of the school main gate on Friday demanding the authorities to trace the boys and return to their respective parents.
Teachers, non-teaching staff and students of the school took part in the protest. They condemned acts like kidnapping and recruiting of young students by underground organizations, but the protesters did not authentically say the missing case of the two students was kidnapping.
Mutum Nongpoknganba, son of M Imotomba of Bashikhong Kitana Panung in Imphal East district had left home for a morning walk on July 4, while Puyam Johnsana, son of P Mongyamba of Khurai, also in Imphal East had left home on June 23 morning. Since then, the duo is still untraceable.
The two young boys are said to be intimate friends.
A student demonstrator at the protest site appealed to all concerned to secure release of the duo adding she hates abduction of students for any sort of purpose.
They also held placards that read like “The Government must get the two school boys freed immediately” and “Do not let minors to join underground organizations.”
