IMPHAL, Aug 29: Manipur University SC and OBC Students Union has submitted a memorandum regarding the adoption of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Amendment Act, 2012 in Manipur

IMPHAL, Aug 29: Manipur University SC and OBC Students Union has submitted a memorandum regarding the adoption of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Amendment Act, 2012 in Manipur University, to the Vice Chancellor, Deans of all schools, Registrar and all Head of Departments of Manipur University, said a press release by the Students Union.

According to the press release, the memorandum was submitted on August 28 to bring a permanent settlement of the present issue in the university, which is the misinterpretation of the Amendment Act that led to the notification for reservation of 31 percent for ST, 2 percent for SC and 17 percent for OBC by the authority of Manipur University on July 25 and resulted in controversy.

The controversial point is due to misinterpretation of the Act in the Section 3 (a) of the Amendment Act, 2012 and there is a need for clarification from the relevant authority of Manipur University, and there should not be any change in the reservation system and follow as usual, which is 7.5 percent for ST, 15 percent for SC and 27 percent for OBC, and moreover the university must be govern according to the law as laid down by the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Amendment Act 2012, stated the Students Union in the press release.

MU students find refuge at community hall as university suddenly closes door

  IMPHAL, August 6: At least seven students including three girls were injured in police action this morning in front of the Manipur University administration block.The incident was the fallout

MU

 

IMPHAL, August 6: At least seven students including three girls were injured in police action this morning in front of the Manipur University administration block.

The incident was the fallout of the sudden closure of the Manipur University without any clear explanation. 

The University was closed until further notice following an order issued by the Registrar, N Lokendra Singh yesterday. 

As per the order, the ongoing classes including practical examinations of PG courses have been suspended with immediate effect until further notice besides asking the hostellers to vacate their respective hostels by 4pm of August 6.

Following the order, the hostellers started vacating since yesterday however a handful of hostellers in defiance stayed behind. 

According to information culled from the spot, it has been learnt that disappointed by the short notice to vacate their hostel rooms, the students who stayed behind proceeded towards the administration block today with the intention to meet the Vice Chancellor and the Registrar.

However, they were denied permission. 

Perturbed with the denial, the students went on a rampage and started attacking the block which resorted, the police to use force against them.

To disperse the mob police baton charged and fired mock bombs, injuring the students. However, no serious injury is reported.

Some of the hostellers are reportedly taking shelter at Khuman Lampak Youth hostel while others are taking refuge at the Heijigang Bazaar community hall (opposite to the university). 

Speaking to IFP this evening, a student stationed at the Haijigang community hall expressed his disappointment over the sudden move of the MU. 

“How can one expect to vacate the hostel within such a short notice? Some of the hostellers are from the remote corners of the State. We condemned and demand the MU to revoked the order”, he continued.

Meanwhile, official sources told IFP that the order was issued with an intention to prevent any untoward incidents in the wake of the disturbed atmosphere within the campus following the confrontation of two groups with regards to reservation issue.

It may be recalled, students belonging to OBC and SC are objecting to a newly issued Central government directive to alter the reservation norms which weighed the balance against them. The new norms, if implemented, would come in favour of ST students, and therefore the university authorities anticipate violent confrontations, therefore the order for closing the university “till further notice.”

MUTA demands VC’s resignation

IMPHAL, August 6: The Manipur University Teachers’ Association has condemned the “brutal action” against students of the university and demanded resignation of the present vice chancellor. The teachers’ body was reacting

IMPHAL, August 6: The Manipur University Teachers’ Association has condemned the “brutal action” against students of the university and demanded resignation of the present vice chancellor. 
The teachers’ body was reacting to the university authority asking the hostellers to immediately vacate their hostels. 

In a press statement, MUTA said, “Regarding the present impasse out of the sudden imposition of the admission policy which has further been escalated by the whimsical action of the university authority asking the hostellers to immediately vacate their hostel rooms before 4 pm of August 6, 2014 and suspension of all ongoing classes including the practical classes of PG courses, MUTA condemns, in the strongest term, the unwarranted brutal action onto the agitating students who have been protesting peacefully against the University Authority.” 

“In the process, the present Vice-Chancellor has created a history, for the wrong cause though, of firing the first salvo of tear-gas shells in the University Campus.” 

“It shows the administrative failure of the vice-chancellor in bringing an amicable solution.” 

MUTA said it had already asked for the VC’s resignation for failing miserably to improve the academic standard and streamlining the functioning of the university. 

“There has also been breach of agreements with MUTA signed on February 10, 2014, as none of the MUTA’s demands have been fulfilled so far,” it said.
