“The long drawn out turmoil has seriously impeded the academic calendar of students in Manipur. We want authorities to be proactive and usher peace in the interest of the Student community,” he said.
He also appealed to the state government to lift the ban on mobile internet as it was disrupting the academic activities of students.
“From far flung areas, there are numerous students who do not have access to broadband connectivity. On top of that, classes are disrupted every now then because of the turmoil and it is becoming hard to keep up with the academic calendar without the internet,” he said.
