Martin Khualthianson, a student, said that they were deprived of their basic right to education
The students of Bachelor of Pharmacy, Government Polytechnic, Kangleipak Medical and Nursing Institute, Saraswati Institute and Management and Paramedical Medical Sciences, who have been displaced from Imphal after violence broke out in the state on May 3, staged a protest today in front of the office of Dharun Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, Churachandpur, demanding online classes for them.
Speaking to Northeast Live, one of the students, Martin Khualthianson, said that the authorities have done nothing to meet their demand for online classes despite it being their responsibility to do so. He said that they were being deprived of their basic education rights and if the status-quo continues they will lag far behind their class mates who are taking regular classes in Imphal.
Later, a memorandum was submitted to the Chief Secretary, Government of Manipur Vineet Joshi and the President of Pharmacy Council of India through the Assistant Commissioner to DC, Churachandpur for arrangement of separate online classes at Lamka Medical College.
In the memorandum it was mentioned that since the outbreak of violence in Manipur on May 3, as many as 35 students studying Pharmacist course from Government Polytechnic, Kangleipak Medical and Nursing Institute, Saraswati Institute and Management and Paramedical Sciences took refuge in different Central Armed Forces camps. As the situation deteriorated they were forced to evacuate from their districts and since then they have not been able to attend physical classes.
