Imphal, October 24 2011:
Ukhrul Autonomous District Council Teachers' Association has drawn attention of SSA State Mission Authority that school maintenance, school grant and teachers' grant for the years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 have not been released in respect of 158 schools under ADC Ukhrul.
In a press release, the association said that these benefits have been denied to more than 10,000 students of Ukhrul since 2010 .
It added that the negligence of the authority concerned is an oppression to the weaker section of the society as most of the students studying in these schools are from BPL families.
In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of the poor students, the association would launch different agitations if any positive action is not initiated in this regard by the authority concerned by November 5, the press release added.
The association also urged SMDC to co-operate with the stir.
