Imphal, September 20, 2009:
Zeliangrong Students' Union Manipur (ZSUM) has refuted the allegations leveled against the students' body by EE of Tamenglong Division of the PWD while saying there were certain cooked-up stories to divert the attention of the people from the demand of his immediate transfer in the allegations.
A statement issued by six executive members of ZSUM clarified that there is no monetary demand made by the students' body as charged by the EE.
It stated that an SO of Tamenglong PWD tried to bribe the students' leaders by offering Rs 10,000 on July 23 which the union rejected.
The nature and attitude of the EE and SO invites the anger of the Union, it stated while warning to launch serious agitation.
Further, the students' body also refuted the press statement issued by ZYF (AMN) and ZYF Tamnglong zone defending the PWD officials.
Smelling a conspiracy, the statement asked as to why the ZYF is defending and endorsing corrupted officials.
The statement also furnished the proof of the negligence of duty by the PWD officials written to the Chief Secretary by the then DC of Tamenglong Jacintha Lazarus.
