Students at the Manipur University held a demonstration on Sunday, protesting against the bomb blast on the campus on Saturday evening. The blast occurred at the gate of the teachers’ quarter on the campus in the Canchipur area around 7.30 pm on Saturday. Five teachers live in the quarter, they said, adding that no one was injured in the explosion. Following the incident, the main gate of the university was closed for nearly an hour as a precautionary measure while security forces carried out checks across the campus. The incident raised concerns over security arrangements within the state’s premier academic institution. The students on Sunday demonstrated with placards that read, “Give us educational freedom, uphold the law, we condemn the blast.” The protesting students insisted on taking adequate security measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents on the campus.
