The three functionaries of All Assam Manipuri Students Union (AAMSU) who were arrested by Lakhipur Police for allegedly disrupting job recruitment exam have been released on Wednesday unconditionally.
AAMSU launched an intense agitation in Assam, particularly in Cachar district demanding inclusion of “Meiteilol” as Manipuri Regional Language in the job recruitment of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) posts. Enraged by the government inaction, AAMSU activists were compelled to launch intense agitation including disruption of job recruitment exam conducted at various schools in Cachar on Tuesday.
Three functionaries of AAMSU including its central office president Seram Herajit Singh, Vice-President Phanjoubam Lokenath and Lakhipur district secretary Yumkhaibam Pari Nganba Mangangcha were arrested by Cachar police on Tuesday while the student activists were allegedly disrupting the job recruitment exam being conducted at Earl High school Lakhipur.
