A section of students has vandalised the administrative head office of the newly opened National Sports University here, the police said on Saturday.
The students smashed furniture, broke computers, tables and chairs of the varsity located at Manipur Olympic House on Friday, said K. Meghachandra Singh, Superintendent of Police, Imphal East district.
Culprits absconding
The culprits are absconding and there have been no arrests yet, the SP said while alleging that some members of the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM)were involved in the vandalism.
DESAM president Salam Akash had earlier said that his organisation would launched an agitation demanding opening of all the departments of NSU including sports journalism, sports management and performance and analysis courses in the university.
DESAM leaders couldn’t be reached for their reaction to the Imphal East district SP’s charge.
