IMPHAL, Feb 8 : The Democratic Students Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has expressed strong concern over sudden halt of emergency services and teaching programme at the prestigious Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal.

In a statement, DESAM said sudden closure of the health care sector without prior information has created much inconveniences to people who are in desperate need for medical attention.

Sudden closure of academic programmes in the prestigious medical institutions is against the wishes of the people and the DESAM’s campaign to bring free zone in education  sector, the statement said adding the students body condemned halt of academic programme in the premier medical institute.

It is quite unnatural for the RIMS staffs in launching cease work strike merely for delay in payment of salaries, the DESAM said adding identification and award of befitting punishment to those responsible for the current stir could be the right step for the concerned authority.

While asserting that sudden closure of emergency services at the RIMS has created problems amongst patients, the DESAM appeal for immediate opening of emergency services in the interest of the general public.

The influential students body further appeal the strikers to resume normal academic programme in the institute asserting the DESAM always stood against class boycott, bandh, blockade and general strike.

The students body also appeal concerned authority of the RIMS to bring an amicable solution at the earliest.
