Students storm MPSC office



IMPHAL: Around 60 activists of Joint Students Co-ordination Committee (JSCC) stormed the Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) office in Imphal protesting against the process to hold the Main Examination of the Manipur Civil Service by the MPSC and demanding nullification of the results of the preliminary examination of 2014 alleging various anomalies by MPSC officials during exams.


There were several errors in question papers and the marking pattern of the MPSC Preliminary Exams. Issuing of forms for the Main Examination has begun since May 21.


At around 1 pm today, JSCC stormed the MPSC office at North AOC in Imphal. They pelted stones at the office and attempted to dismantle the gate of the office. The student volunteers then locked the office before they left.


Manipur police guarding the MPSC office were stunned when the large number of JSCC members suddenly rushed into the office campus this afternoon. The police failed to control the charging JSCC members. Additional police was called in. Imphal police station officer-in-charge along with his team witnessed the volatile situation. Things came to a halt a few minutes later.


It can be noted here that All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM-Tombing) and Joint Students' Co-ordination Committee (JSCC) had threatened to resort to series of agitation if the ongoing process to conduct the Main Examination to the Manipur Civil Service is not halted immediately.


ATSUM and JSCC had demanded to cancel the Preliminary Examiniation Results of 2014 and start a fresh examination.


Both JSCC and ATSUM had expressed their resentment on the farcical situation created by the negligence committed by Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) regarding the 2014 Preliminary examiniation results. They had also demanded that if the MPSC is not capable of conducting such examination it should be handed over to the UPSC.


Earlier, JSCC had apprised the Governor of Manipur while the All Manipur Muslim Girl’s Student Union, United Minority and Student’s Federation of North East Education and social Upliftment Department had asked for the re-evaluation the examiniation papers or else threatened to resort to starn form of agitation.
