Imphal, June 19 2015 :
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has said that it will not resort to strikes like bandh and blockade over the arrest of its members by the State police in connection with the deadlock between the alliance and St Joseph's School, Sangaiprou.
In a statement alliance publicity & propaganda secretary Premchand Tongbram said it had decided to launch strike if its leaders now under detention were not released within 24 hours, but it has withdrawn the stand.
It said the change in the stand of the alliance came after the intellectuals urged for avoiding such steps considering the potential disturbances to be caused to the academic atmosphere.
However, DESAM said that a special meeting of the alliance will be held tomorrow, Saturday to decide the next course of action which will be announced to the public later.
