Imphal, August 08, 2012:
The employees of Power Sub-station, Lamphel staged a sit-in-protest at the office complex today decrying the the last night's incident of beating up a Junior Bill Clerk of the Electricity Department posted in the sub-station by security guards of MLA Dr Ng Bijoy.
The Junior Bill Clerk has been identified as Naorem Shanta.
Speaking to media persons on the sideline of the protest demonstration, a protestor informed that the security guards in civvies who are deployed at the official quarters of MLA Dr Ng Bijoy at Lamphel came to the power sub-station and enquired over failure of power supply to the quarter of the MLA.
The security guards were all drunk.
An argument soon erupted between the staffs of the sub-station and the drunken guards.
As the arguments could not be settled, the staffs of the sub-station told the security guards to go and meet the SE.
Later, a heated argument started inside the chamber of SE and that point of time the Junior Bill Clerk tried to cool down everyone, but he was beaten up by the security guards.
Naorem Shanta received head injuries and was taken to RIMS for treatment.
The protestors demanded action against the guilty security personnel and appealed against repeated such incidents in future.
