Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh pledged to tackle the lack of teachers in schools during an event at Moirangpurel Higher Secondary School in Imphal East district. He acknowledged the school’s struggles due to a severe shortage of teachers and promised to take necessary actions to address the issue not only at that school but also in other institutions facing similar challenges.
At the event, Chief Minister Khemchand Singh inaugurated three significant projects, including the Itham Moirangpurel Bridge, a model residential school, and the Science and Arts Block of Moirangpurel Higher Secondary School. Additionally, he flagged off the upgrade of a section of National Highway-2 from Lamlai to Thoubal Dam.
Responding to reports of alleged unlawful activities involving security personnel along the highway at Moirangpurel, the Chief Minister ordered a thorough investigation by the Imphal East Superintendent of Police, Shivanand Surve. He also directed the Deputy Commissioner of Imphal East, Nivedita Lairenlakpam, to submit a report on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Laikhong village who have not received Direct Benefit Transfer assistance for purchasing mattresses.
The newly constructed Science and Arts Block of Moirangpurel Higher Secondary School, funded under Samagra Shiksha Manipur, includes classrooms, laboratories, a library, separate toilets, and rainwater harvesting facilities. The Model Residential School, built under the PMJVK scheme, and the Itham Moirangpurel Bridge were also inaugurated during the event.
