IMPHAL, June 3 – Even as the student community has taken a strong stance against the detention of 13 student leaders following the killing of Professor Md Islamuddin of Manipur University, the State Government reportedly directed the eviction of all offices of NGOs and student organisations from campus of government offices and government-run educational institutions.
The ruling Secular Progressive Front Ministry took a decision to this effect during a Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh chaired emergency Cabinet meeting on Monday, official sources said.
Sources said the Cabinet meeting decided to serve notices to all concerned to shift the offices of student unions and NGOs from Government institutions within 15 days.
Meanwhile, five of the detained students were arrested under National Security Act while the remaining eight students were released on bail after producing them before the court of Additional Judicial Magistrate here on Tuesday.
Earlier, the Democratic Students Alliance of Manipur has warned to call a 120-hour general strike if the authority failed to release the arrested students without any condition. Meanwhile, the police has warned the school authorities against allowing their students to organise protest demonstrations or taking out rallies.
