After being denied additional time for the Manipuri paper, media reported that class 12 students taking the state board exams vandalised a school building in the Thoubal district of Manipur on Saturday, February 25.

The incident took place at Yairipok's ACME Higher Secondary School.

According to a representative of the Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur (COHSEM), students began clamouring for extra time when only five minutes were left in the Manipuri paper.

"Several students resorted to violence, demanding extra time as the bell rang. They gave various reasons. Stones were hurled, and school property, including computers and furniture, were vandalised," the COHSEM representative further informed.

He claimed that a female teacher and 15 students passed out amid the chaos.

"They were taken to the community health centre for treatment," he further informed.

A total of 405 students appeared for the examination at the centre.
