Manipur: Schools Reopen But No Respite From Violence

On 08 January the much anticipated moment for the people of the state finally arrived. Senior citizens of the state succeeded in bringing together the government and Apunba Lup who signed a memorandum of understanding to end the impasse in the agitation in the aftermath of the July 23 Khwairamband firing which had led to closure of schools for over four months. The agitation against opening of schools in Manipur led by the civil society which had demanded resignation of the Chief Minister had also been politicized with the Apunba Lup attempting to broker on behalf of the people, having to be brought to book by other organizations led by the senior citizens.
