Imphal, February 09:
Intensifying the ongoing stir against non-availability of text books, around 400 students of Khongjom Standard English School blocked half the road of National Highway 39 and staged a sit in protest demonstration from 11 am till 2 pm today.
The agitating students held placards with slogans demanding availability of text books in the markets and to allow the students to pursue their academic career peacefully.
The protest demonstration was organised under the joint aegis of AMSU Thoubal District Committee and AMSU Khongjom Branch.
Meanwhile, the information and publicity secretary of AMSU Thoubal District Committee Md Farrijuddin Khan in a statement has come out strongly against issuing of DO letters by Ministers and officials to BSEM for providing text books in favour of some book stores even as the students are out on the roads demanding text books.
