Students of government colleges, like DM Colleges of Science, Arts and Commerce, Imphal College, Manipur College, GP Women College, Maharaj Budhachandra College, Modern College and others demanded for appointment of regular principals in their respective colleges.

The agitating students lamented that non-appointment of regular principals had greatly hampered the administration which in turn affected the academic atmosphere of the students.

Education Department (Higher and Technical and University) has assured several times to address the matter but they failed to translate into works till date,” a student of DM College of Science told to this correspondent.
