Imphal, June 6:
A powerful blast that occurred at the 2nd gate of Little Flower School at Sangaiprou, in the early morning of Sunday, here in Imphal has created a fear psychosis in both students and guardians compelling the school to shut down.
The academic atmosphere has been severely disturbed, as the panicked students instead of attending classes staged a sit-in protest in front of the school at Tiddim Road.
“Please don’t blast bomb at school”, a class 10 student staging protest in front of the school told media persons to convey the message to whomever responsible for blasting the bomb.
“How are we going to continue our studies if such bomb blast took place in school”, another student told the media. The students urged the Chief Minister and the Education Minister to protect them.
Yesterday’s blasts have created fear in many parents as well as the students, Head Mistress of the Little Flower School, Kaini said, while speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club.
According to her, they heard a loud sound of a bomb blast at around 3 am yesterday. When they went out to see, they found a bomb blasted in front of the school’s 2nd gate.
“Portion of the gate had been damaged due to the impact of the blast”, Kaini told media persons.
Kaini, however, didn’t disclose who are those responsible for the blast. No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the blast so far.
President of the United Association of Recognised School of Manipur, L. Joy also condemned the bomb blast at Little Flower School.
As per information, the students and teaching staff of the Little Flower School is organising a protest rally tomorrow.
