Speaking on the occasion, T. Rameshwar Singh, President of AMESTA stated that teachers have been playing an important role in developing and shaping a society by providing valuable knowledge to students and expressed unhappiness on children who could not go to schools and those engaged in domestic works especially in developing countries saying that they should be sent to schools instead of forcing them to work.

Shantakumar, Executive Member of AIPTF said altogether 1603 Primary Teacher, Hindi Primary Teacher and Hindi Graduate Teacher who had already appointed as regular on December 15, 2011 were still not getting salary from the last 10 month while adding that Graduate Teacher who have selected under RMSA were also yet to get salary from the last 11 month.

SENAPATI, Oct 5 NNN: The controversy surrounding the result of Manipur University has irked the Senapati District Students Association (SDSA).
On Friday, SDSA has expressed its unhappiness over the controversial declaration of Manipur University’s MA (Commerce) fourth semester examination result.
SDSA president L.R John has said that even even the highest temple of learning and premier university of the state like Manipur University has succumbed to “bias and anti-tribal tactics” rather than promoting a harmonized state of education.
On September 7, a Manipur University student named SH. Timothy bearing roll number 1016012 was declared the topper in the merit list in the official result. Shockingly, on September 14, in a controversial situation, the Manipur University, Commerce Department again published a second merit list with another double topper namely one KH. Vijayata Devi and Thanjam Gojen Singh bearing roll numbers 1016005 and 1016016 respectively.
The SDSA then questioned the integrity and motives of the concerned Department and Manipur University. “With no reference of reasons and clarity of the second merit list, it is clear, the collaborative designs of the concerned department and controversial candidates is targeted against the tribal students in the university,” alleged the SDSA today. The SDSA considering the matter seriously and unjustifiable, demands before the ‘good office’ of the Vice-Chancellor, Manipur University to immediately intervene into the matter, failure which, the students’ body will ‘not hesitate to react’ accordingly.

IMPHAL, Oct 5 MNS NNN : Hundreds of people took out in the streets of Imphal on Friday demanding the state Government to take up appropriate steps to book the culprits involved in the killing of Amom Rajen in West Bengal.
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) seeking justice for the family of Rajen organised a protest rally participated by hundreds of locals from the native village of Rajen, mostly women attired in white clothes. They attempted to storm the Chief Minister’s official residence but the police thwarted it.
They arrived here in the afternoon right in front of the Raj Bhawan by buses and other light vehicles from Wangoo village Terakhong in Bishnupur district of Manipur. The protesters holding placards then proceeded towards the Chief Minister’s official residence. However, they were stopped by the police on their way near Nupilal Complex.
The protesters held Placards which read like “Arrest the culprits,”Proper ex-gratia must be given” and “Provide a Government job to his family.”
After a brief standoff between the demonstrators and the police near Nupilal Complex a few metres from the Chief Minister’s bungalow, the latter allowed seven representatives of the JAC to meet Chief Minister O Ibobi and submit him a memorandum.
On the sidelines of the demonstration, one of the family members of Rajen told journalists that the JAC wanted to draw the attention of the state Government on the death of Rajen and accordingly take proper steps to deliver justice.
The JAC called the tragic incident of Rajen an unnatural death saying he had been murdured. It also demanded the state Government to nab the culprits involved in the killing by pursuing the Government of West Bengal. It also said Rajen was innocent.
The Chief Minister has been apprised through the memorandum that Amom Rajen, a teacher by profession was working at Paradise School Kankar in Chhatisgarh as an assistant teacher for the last more than one decade.
He came back home before the recent Panchayat polls held in the state but left home again for Chhatisgarh along with his 6-year-old daughter, Carolina on September 23 last.
Rajen tried to get train ticket for Chhatisgarh keeping his daughter near a ticket counter in Hawrah Railway Station, Kolkata on the morning of September 25. However, there was no sign of him for several hours and he was never returned then.
His family found his lifeless body at a hospital mortuary near Cossipore Police Station, Hawrah on September 28.
The JAC has also demanded to give ex-gratia to the next of kin and the wife of the murdered husband be provided a suitable Government job, and a judicial enquiry be instituted into the killing at an early date.
