IMPHAL, April 12: The Thadou Student`s Association (TSA) has submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner Chandel, Robert Kshetrimayum on his visit to Khengjoy sub-division under Hengshi Village in Chandel District on Saturday.
President of Thadou Student`s Association Chandel, L. Vum Khongsai handed over the memorandum of the association to the Deputy Commissioner for materializing the past assurances of the government.
The students` body in the memorandum stated that on the day of inaugurating Khengjoy Sub-Division in 2011, Chief Minister O. Ibobi had assured to the people of area to upgrade the Khengjoy Junior High
School into High School besides upgrading the present PHSC to Primary Health Centre (PHC) and to make the Khengjoy Police Station fully functional.
It appealed the state government to set up separate Educational Block for Khengjoy Sub-Division and make every department reach out to every villages of Kengjoy Sub-Division.
The TSA also strongly condemned the irresponsible behavior of the 24 Assam Rifles personnel who were on duty of frisking vehicles along the National Highway 102 at Tengnoupal-Sita junction.
Conveying their displeasure over the Assam Rifles to the media persons, Secretary TSA General Headquarters, James Haokip said that in contrast to the recent assurance given by the DIG 26 Sector Assam Rifles to the Joint Action Committee against the atrocities of Assam Rifles and Central Security forces in Chandel District at Tengnoupal village, the 24 Assam Rifles personnel unnecessarily harassed by detaining and hurling abusive words to a team of the students body and medical staff who were returning from Hengshi village after conducting a free medical camp yesterday.
He further said that the DIG assured the people of the area and the JAC members that the Assam Rifles will not harass the commuters and detained long as before by frisking vehicles of private and commercial separately besides deputing more numbers of responsible jawans for frisking vehicles. However, the action of the 24 Assam Rifles personnel who were on duty along the National Highway 102 was in sharp contrast with the assurance of the DIG which is a direct insult to people and Officers of the Assam Rifles by the jawans, said James Haokip.
While maintaining the students body would not tolerate such irresponsible behavior of the Assam Rifles personnel and remained a mute spectator in future, the Students` leader also appealed the higher authority of Assam Rifles to take up action against those undisciplined jawans and discipline them to be more civilian friendly besides deputing only responsible and literate jawans for frisking vehicles along the National Highway.
