Imphal, May 05 2011:
With the recovery of large numbers of SSA textbooks from various ZEO offices and other places hot on trail by four students' bodies, the same bodies today again collected large numbers of such textbooks from the Block Resource Centre of ZEO Zone I, Imphal West today.
The recovery was made during a raid by a joint team of four students' bodies DESAM, AMSU, MSF and KSA today.
The team collected around 600 textbooks lying in a room of the office.
A Thoithoi, assistant general secretary DESAM said that SSA has been like a money making machine in the state.
Officials are being unable to distribute the textbooks timely due to the negligence of top officials.
More than 10,000 textbooks have been recovered during the drive by the students' bodies, claimed Thoithoi.
He said that the recovered textbooks will be distributed to needy students within one week.
He also said that they will be launching a certain type of agitation in which they will throw in unused textbooks which are excluded from the syllabus to the SSA department if the department failed to distribute the textbooks for the current session before May 15 .
