Imphal, September 24 2011:
One student reportedly sustained serious injuries on the head during a clash among the student-hostellers of Peace and Freedom Academy located at Thoubal Haokha on September 18 night.
family members of the injured student have decried alleged failure of the school authority to inform the parents in time.
The incident took place at around 10 pm on September 18 and Nehgoulien Haokip, a student of class IX, sustained injuries on his head after he was hit by a hammer.
Talking to mediapersons in connection with the incident at Manipur Press Club here this afternoon, mother of Nehgoulien Haokip, Nemgtinlam Haokip informed that besides Nehgoulien, her eldest son Ngamshanglien is also studying in class X in the same Academy and she came to know about the clash and injury of her younger son only yesterday when she went to the school for clearing their tuition fees.
She came to know that the school authority admitted Nehgoulien to Thoubal Hospital and needed at least 6/7 stitches.

When she approached the principal of school Jotin Salam to know why timely information had not been given despite grievous injury of her younger son, the principal maintained that it was some petty matter which need no suggestion from any person and that he had been the general secretary of AMSU for a long time.
Principal Jotin also told the mother to take her sons along with her if she wants.
Keeping aside the issue over the clash of the students, the conduct and the language used by the principal who is not just a former leader of AMSU but is also a responsible person for moulding the character of many students is very unfortunate, the mother observed.
Pointing out that her two sons are the only students from Haokip clan studying in the school, Nemgtinlam said that she knew about the difficulties faced by them in getting along with others in the hostel on account of linguistic and cultural differences.
But unhappy at the conduct of the principal, she has taken out both her sons from the school.
Nemgtinlam also drew the attention of all the student bodies in Manipur to look into the matter.
