Protest over UG extortion: Imphal, May 3: Employees of Manipur’s higher education department did not allow any outsider to enter the office by locking up the main gate on Saturday intensifying their protest against monetary demands from militant groups. The employees said they could not work because of demands made by militant groups for certain percentages of the budget allocation of the department, contract work and supply orders. "We did not allow anyone including government officials and teachers to come inside the office complex. We also did not allow entry of any files from outside the office," an official said. This would continue for one week and the employees may intensify the agitation further if the "demands and pressures" were not withdrawn. The employees expressed resentment that though the matter was informed to the government no concrete steps were coming.
