Protests · Churachandpur, Manipur, India
Parents protest food shortage claims at residential school; principal suspended
Published
Parents protested at an Eklavya Model Residential School in Churachandpur after a video showed distressed students alleging inadequate food and poor welfare. Administrators suspended the principal while the complaints were examined, converting a social-media disclosure into an institutional response.
Why it matters
Residential pupils depend entirely on the school for meals and care. A transparent stock audit and safeguards against retaliation are needed to determine whether the suspension addresses the underlying problem.
Evidence assessment
EastMojo links the parent protest and suspension to student allegations visible in a video. Food records, inspection findings and the principal's response are not supplied.
Medium confidence — The central development is supported by the linked EastMojo report, while the stated evidence gaps prevent a high-confidence assessment.
