Step in view of clashes ahead of Assembly elections to be held in March
Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren said on Wednesday all licensed gun owners should deposit the weapons at the nearest police stations. Though the schedule for the Assembly elections to be held in March 2022 is yet to be announced by the Election Commission, the step became necessary in view of the increasing number of clashes among the supporters of several politicians, during which guns including AK-47 rifles are used, he said.
Mr. Biren said, “It is rather unfortunate that election-related violent incidents are taking place in the State. Politicians should restrain their supporters. The Government shall take up all steps to maintain law and order and the guilty ones will be booked irrespective of their political affiliations.”
According to the regulations, each university shall appoint an ombudsperson for redressal of grievances of students of the university and colleges or institutions affiliated with the university. The ombudsperson shall be a retired vice-chancellor or a retired professor (who has worked as Dean or HOD), and has 10 years’ experience as a professor in State or Central universities or institutions of national importance, deemed-to-be-university, or a former district judge.
