From aided school the school was converted into a full-fledged Government High School in 1977-78. The School was amalgamated with some other school and the then government had ordered for shifting of the school to somewhere at Thangmeiband.
In 2014, the then Congress Govt. had converted into a security barrack without the permission of the School Management Committee. It was later, found that many people have been killed inside the complex after skeleton of human are found inside the complex.
Ph. Ibochouba said that abolishing of a historic school and converting it into a market complex is tarnishing the historical evidence of the Manipur and people are against it.
He said that there are many school in the heart of the town such as Nirmalabas High School at Mg Avenue, Guru Nanak School at Thangal Bazar, Jain School at Paona Bazar, Johnstone Higher Secondary school at BT Road, Barodan High School at Thangal bazar. It is not reasonable to abolished the third High School of the state of Manipur and converting the area into a market place, he added.
