Students make human chain at Thoubal

From A Correspondent

THOUBAL | July 22

Many students came out to the streets yesterday and blocked the highway near Okram, Thoubal by forming a human chain, shouting many slogans for a new law that prevents outsiders from entering the state administrative services.

The demonstration was organised by the Thoubal district council of Kangleipak Students’ Union (KSA) and participated by students of Fancier Higher Secondary School and New Era School.

One of the members of KSA expressed that the influx of many outsiders in the state are increasing in an alarming rate. The outsiders have started many big businesses here and the economy of the state is now becoming dependent on them. Those looking for some opportunities from these business men and the politicians who want some extra votes have unlawfully included them in the voters’ list. The outsiders have also started standing in the elections and are trying to get their hands in the state administration, he added.

He also said that few ones have already got some positions in the government posts and this has created a threat to the indigenous people of Manipur.

KSA also expressed that the demonstration of the students was held so that they can save the future of future generations of Manipur.
