Imphal, June 28 2013 : Twelve students of Churachand Higher Secondary School were injured as police resorted to lathi charge and fired tear gas shells on a rally staged by the students of the school.
The students were marching towards the State Assembly complex to register protest against non implementation of ILPS in the State.
The students started their rally at around noon from their school.
Although police blocked them at two locations � Sanjenthong and near IMC building � the agitating students broke the barricades and tried to march towards the Assembly complex.
Police then fired two-three rounds of tear gas shells and resorted to lathi charge against the agitating students which was countered with some students pelting stones at the police.

However, a large number of police personnel chased them towards CC Higher Secondary School that led to the injury of 12 students.
According to the students of CC Higher Secondary School, they wanted to take out a peaceful rally.
However, they were compelled to pelt stones to police as they were lathi charged mercilessly.
They also questioned why the State Government is unable to implement ILPS in the State although resolutions in this regard have been passed by the State Assembly on two different occasions.
“We students can’t sit idle inside our houses when the houses are burning”, they said.
