IMPHAL, July 16: The All Manipur Recognised Private Schools’ Welfare Association has today released a press note conveying its concern on the mysterious missing of two minor students of the Standard Robarth Higher Secondary School on the backdrop of missing school children in the recent past adding that this association has taken it very seriously.

The association said that the act of detaining by providing momentary comfort and material benefit to those children who do not see clearly between right and wrong is a deplorable issue in all sense, it said further adding that maintaining prolonged silence on the issue by all concern is highly condemnable, it said.

Such unwanted happenings in the society has created a sense of insecurity and dilemma on the part of parents thereby sometimes thinking to opt not to send the children to schools in the fear that they might be kidnapped. The press note further urged to all concerned to safely release the two school children, it said.

The post AMSU-Barber face-off unfortunate: FREINDS appeared first on  KanglaOnline.com.

IMPHAL, July 16: The Federation of Regional Indigenous Societies (FREINDS), head office Keishampat today issued a press release expressing its `concern` on the recent face-off between AMSU and barbers over picking up of barbers for overcharging customers following complaints from customers.

The statement said, non-locals have increased in terms of their population so much in the state that they can now challenge the voice of the indigenous people and it is no surprise that the barbers have come to defy the AMSU and overcharged against the AMSU stance on the issue.

It has further said that the barbers were charging Rs 30 against the Rs 20 fixed by the state Labour department.

The earning potential of a barber in the state is drawing non-locals into the state, it said while urging the un-employed youths of the state to understand the market and enter it.
