MUTA threatens
Subsequent to its ultimatum to the MU Vice-Chancellor to withdraw the procee-dings of the MU author-ities taken on June 8 and the press state-ment issued on June 16 by June 28 concerning non-supply of goods worths Rs 8 lakhs to four Departments of the University even as the same amount was withdrawn, the Manipur University Teachers' Assn (MUTA) has decided to launch a non-cooperation stir from July 2. Talking to The Sangai Express MUTA president Prof M Ranjit disclosed that MUTA has been cons-trained to launch the stir as the VC has failed to reciprocate positively to its ultimatum. How-ever, the proposed stir will not affect academic activities, he assured.
