In a moment of relief for students and parents alike, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh personally met with students and teachers from P. Namjoklung High School, Sawombung Sairem, Imphal East, following a stressful episode involving missed BOSEM exam admit cards.
The visit was a gesture of gratitude — and a sign of what decisive intervention can mean when bureaucracy fumbles.
What Happened
A total of 31 students from the school were unable to receive their admit cards for the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur (BOSEM) examinations. The issue? Their details hadn’t been submitted through the proper administrative channels — a lapse that cost them their exam access.
