IMPHAL, October 21: Activist of Manipur University Students`™ Union Revival Demand Committee and Joint Students Coordination Committee vandalised the administrative block of the Manipur University early noon today.

The students stormed towards the AD block after a brief clash with security guards at the main gate of the campus. Later, the students damaged flower vase, CC TV camera and portions of cashier counter after breaking the lock of the gate.

Meanwhile, personnel of Singjamei police rushed to the spot and prevailed over the situation.

Th Suresh, convener of MUSURDC, speaking to the media on the sidelines of the incident recalled that the VC and Registrar of the university are under the boycott of the students`™ bodies. He said that the boycott is regarding the failure of the VC and the Registrar to give clarification on the proposed Central Institution Educational Reservation (Amendment Act, 2012).

He continued that the boycott restricts both the VC and the Registrar from attending any meetings or programmes held in the campus. However, the two were found violating the restriction imposed by the students`™ bodies by attending a national seminar, he added.

Suresh also pointed out that the boycott will continue till the VC and the Registrar give clarification on the said reservation issue.
