IMPHAL | Dec 14

All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU) today burnt an effigy of chief minister, N. Biren in front of D.M. College western gate, near Thangmeiband NCC gate today. The protest was against rejecting an MPSC selected candidate of Tribal Research Institute (TRI) for the post of deputy director.

Speaking to media persons, AMSU coordinating networking secretary, L. Athouba said that the government is not taking up any tangible action against corrupted officials. He said that some officers in the department works for their own interest and rejecting a MPSC selected candidate who has already finished police verification and medical fitness test has been left high and dry.

He claimed that the chief minister announcing that “action will be taken up against anybody including MLAs and IAS officers, if found to be corrupted and work for their private interest” is turning out to be a hollow statement and perhaps just made to impress the public.

Regarding the matter, several memorandums has been submitted to the chief minister earlier and to the department concerned but till today, the government has not taken up any positive action, added the secretary.

AMSU warned to intensify their agitation if the government fails to appoint the selected MPSC candidate to the deputy director post of TRI and also appealed to take up action against the errant officials.

Mentioned may be made that earlier on October 6, AMSU has shut down the director’s room and museum of the TRI, Imphal as a part of the agitation.
