DESAM suspect corruption in chairman appointment

Imphal, April 27 : The government’s appointment of an unqualified person as chairman of the Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur against the rules and regulations could be due to corruption, said A Thoithoi, education secretary of the DESAM.

The statement was given during a press meet held today at the office of DESAM. Thoithoi further added that after the retirement of N Ibobi Singh as chairman of COHSEM, on April 24, 2009 the secretary of education (S) PK Singh passed an order appointing  S Gita, additional director, education (S) as chairman.
