Human rights bodies appeal to Manipur government not to station troops in educational institutes

Imphal, Nov 1 (UNI) Eight human rights groups and civil societies have expressed concern over the numbers of Central Paramilitary Forces (CMPFs) and Army being transported and airlifted to Manipur and such a sudden spite in the number of military presence in the already militarized Manipur is highly alarming it said in a memorandum to the Chief Minister N Biren Singh today.
It added that it is distressing that the Central Para-Military Forces are stationed inside the campuses of Modern College, Maharaja Bodhachandra College,D.M. University etc. This is happening in the background of the on-going student agitation against the stationing of Army camp inside the Manipur University premises.
It added it is highly alarming to learn that the district administrations have further authorized the stationing of CMPF and Army in various other educational institutions and public premises.
